What are the transfer programs at Madison College?

I'm a high school junior looking into Madison College's transfer programs. I'm curious about how they facilitate transferring to four-year universities. Does anyone have experience with their programs or know what options are available?

Madison College (also known as Madison Area Technical College or MATC) operates numerous transfer programs that have collaborations with a wide range of four-year academic institutions, which allow students to start their coursework at MATC and then transition quite seamlessly to a university later. A couple of popular programs include the "Liberal Arts Transfer Program" which gears students towards general ed requirements and majors in humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences, and the "College Parallel Programs" for students who have a specific major in mind from the start.

Madison College also has transfer agreements or articulation agreements with several universities, both in state and out of state. This allows you to take certain classes at MATC that will directly count towards your bachelor's degree when you move to the four-year university. Plus, these agreements often simplify the application process to the four-year institution too, leading to a smoother transition overall. You'll want to check with Madison College's Transfer Center and your academic advisor to get specific information about these agreements.

Additionally, it offers University Partnership Programs, allowing students to earn bachelor's and master's degrees from specified four-year colleges and universities on MATC campuses. You should definitely look into the specifics of these programs and connect with an adviser at Madison College to make sure you're selecting the best pathway for your academic goals.
