About MATC Admissions

Madison Area Technical College is open to all students who are capable of benefiting from instruction. Post-secondary programs are open to applicants who have graduated high school, who have passed high school equivalency tests, or mature applicants who, through work experience, can prove that they are capable of mastering the subject matter.

Depending on the program you are interested in applying for, admission requirements may vary and include additional testing assessments. So, be sure to review the admission and application procedures outlined by each program.

A student’s application is evaluated on the basis of a combination of high school and other transcripts, work experience, entrance examination results and an interview, if it is deemed necessary.

It is possible for students to be concurrently enrolled in high school and in classes offered by MATC. In all cases, high school students must have parent or guardian permission. Costs for those attending in lieu of high school, under the provisions of Section 118.15 of the Wisconsin Statutes, are charged in accordance with the law.
