State of Wisconsin Licensure Statement
MATC offers several educational programs that lead to licensure or certification that may be required for employment in certain professions. The programs are designed to satisfy the academic requirements for those credentials set forth by the State of Wisconsin.
If you are planning to apply for licensure in a state other than Wisconsin after completion of their program, please contact the other state's appropriate licensing board to determine whether MATC's program meets licensure requirements in that state.
