Madison Area Technical College (MATC) is a technical and community college headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. It serves parts of 12 counties in south-central Wisconsin: Adams, Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Green, Iowa, Jefferson, Juneau, Marquette, Richland, Rock, and Sauk. It is among the largest of the 16 schools in the Wisconsin Technical College System, serving about 44,000 people per year.[1] It consists of ten facilities, with six located in Madison and the others in the cities of Reedsburg, Watertown, Fort Atkinson, and Portage.[1]
The college was founded in 1912 to serve the local Madison community. It was located in the former Madison Central High School in downtown Madison; in the 1980s the campus was largely moved to an east-side location near the Dane County Regional Airport.
The school offers more than 140 associate degree and technical diploma programs, as well as trade apprenticeships and other certifications and adult continuing education programs.[2] In the 2003–2004 school year, 20,461 students were enrolled in degree-credit programs, 4,215 in adult basic education, 20,352 in adult continuing education, 3,517 in community service and 1,989 in ESL programs.[citation needed]
The president is Dr. Bettsey L. Barhorst.
