Century of success shapes MATCs commitment to students
and community
In 1912, a new school opened in downtown Milwaukee to help young people
prepare for a better future. Named Milwaukee Continuation School, it evolved
and expanded its scope to meet the communitys changing needs throughout
the decades, eventually encompassing four campuses and becoming
Milwaukee Area Technical College.
For more than 100 years, the college has remained committed to its founding
goal: To prepare citizens to enter the world of work, to remain in it, and to
advance as far in it as their skills and abilities allow.
This legacy continues to influence MATC:
Hands-on learning. In 1928, the school began offering evening classes taught
by industry professionals that used equipment students would encounter on the
job. Hands-on learning, instructors with real-world experience and convenient
class times are hallmarks of MATC.
Four-year college transfer opportunities. In the 1930s, a junior college
program was developed with the University of Wisconsin-Madison as the first
credit-transfer partner. MATC now has almost 400 four-year college transfer
agreements.
Associate degree and technical diploma programs. In the 1950s, the school
began expanding its two-year associate degree and one-year technical diploma
programs. Today MATC offers 79 associate degree and 53 technical diploma
programs for careers in business, healthcare, technology, creative arts/media
and more.
Adult High school. A high school completion program first began in the
1930s. In the current School of Pre-College Education, Adult High School
provides those 18 years and older the opportunity to earn a high school
diploma, and offers high school-level classes needed to enter college.
newest technologies. In 1951, the schools new Milwaukee Institute of
Technology prepared students for the emerging technologies of the time; MATC
continues to lead by offering programs that meet the needs of a new, digitaland knowledge-driven economy. MATC has initiated many technological firsts,
including being the first Wisconsin college to provide wireless internet service
throughout all campuses.
MATC has earned a reputation as one of the nations finest two-year
community-based colleges. MATCs history displays its strong commitment to
providing the innovative education that enriches and transforms lives, today
and for generations to come.

academic work with career-related employment. Internships provide
students the opportunity to apply academic knowledge to real work
situations, earn required or elective college credits, acquire careerrelated work experience and enhance personal growth. Many
experiences are paid. This allows students to generate an income
and offset the cost of a college education. Internships are
mandatory in some MATC programs and optional in others. For

Your consecutive absences exceed the number of class meetings
per week, or on the third consecutive absence when classes meet
once each week.
Your attendance is sporadic (e.g., you miss seven class periods
for a class that meets three periods a week) and you are unable to
make up the instruction missed.
You fail to meet attendance requirements of licensing agencies.
You pose a safety hazard to yourself or others because of missed
instruction critical to safe class or lab performance.
You are unable to make up instruction missed in a lab/shop class.

overview Applicants to this program must specify either the invasive
CVT (Cardiac Cath Lab) or noninvasive CVT (Echocardiography)
subspecialty. In this program, you will learn theoretical concepts and clinical
applications of procedures used to diagnose and relieve the symptoms of
various cardiac pathologies. The program begins with one year of general
CVT coursework, after which, each subspecialty will focus on its unique
curriculum. Laboratory instruction occurs on campus as well as in
laboratories of area hospitals. Clinical externships will include assignments
in various local hospitals under the direction of an experienced CVT. The
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs
accredited the invasive portion and echocardiography portion of this
program in cooperation with the Joint Review Committee (JRC-CVT).
The program has an alternative part-time enrollment plan.
Career outlook The continuing demand for CVTs indicates
exceptional employment possibilities. The projected growth is attributed
to an increase in cardiovascular disease and the aging population.
Opportunities include hospital departments and with experience,
physicians offices and sales. For more information regarding the
Cath Lab, visit www.cathlabdigest.com or www.sicp.com. For more

Paralegal
School of Business, Associate in Applied Science Degree Downtown Milwaukee Campus
overview The Paralegal associate degree program is approved by the
American Bar Association. This program prepares students for employment
as a paralegal in the legal community, in government offices or agencies,
or in business and industry. Courses are available days and evenings, and
selected courses are available online. Students must earn at least 10 Legal
Specialty credits (i.e., PLEGAL courses) via face-to-face instruction.
Coursework revolves around basic legal courses designed to provide you
with a broad background. The program additionally allows for options of
legal specialization. Instruction concentrates on practical, rather than
theoretical, aspects of law.
TeCHNICaL STUdIeS
( ) = Semester Order for Full-Time Students
Career outlook The use of paralegals permits more efficient and costeffective use of an attorneys time. Many legal office tasks can be
performed by a paralegal and billed at a lower rate, while optimizing an
attorneys time to perform activities that require a law degree. Although this
is a growing profession, competition in the job market is keen. Typical job
duties include conducting client interviews, obtaining case information,
performing legal research, preparing and filing legal documents and court
papers, and providing general assistance to attorneys. Positions are also
available in governmental agencies, legal departments of banks and other
private organizations and companies. Students receiving this degree are
required to work under the supervision of an attorney to avoid the
unauthorized practice of law.

larger counterparts do not see. As the global economy shifts to a leaner,
faster environment, opportunities will permit nimble participants to succeed.
The experiences that students have while earning their diploma will be
beneficial immediately in their own workplace, even if they are in the thinking stage of new business development. As larger businesses downsize,
the ability to start and sustain a business will become more valuable.
