Why I came to Milwaukee Area Technical College

Originally, I came to MATC to gain the general education credits that I needed to be able to enroll at Milwaukee's School of Engineering. My goal was originally to go into Materials Science and Engineering, due to my interest in the recent discovery as to the extent of applications that Graphene has in computer technology.

After reading more about the program curriculum, and speaking to Tony Stanislawski, I decided to attend the Network Specialization program instead. I could not have been more satisfied with the quality of content and instructor dedication than I have with MATC. The online program has allowed me the freedom to continue to work and spend time with my family, as well as incorporating my tendency to be more active at night, without seriously punishing me for an alternative schedule.

They have also made it easy to find employment and scholarship resources, and have been flexible when I have had extenuating circumstances. I have been confident and felt prepared going into each exam, and when I have had questions on a topic, I could turn to the instructors or other students and get a prompt response almost any time of day.

My experience at Milwaukee Area Technical College has motivated me to work harder and propel my education even further, both in class, and out. As far as success in the program, I have received the honor of being on the President's List for two semesters consecutively, I still maintain over a 3.5 GPA, and I have now started my own IT consulting business, as well as finishing a six month internship with Humana. I may have originally come to MATC for a few credits, but I stayed for the lifelong experience.
