Cost Overview

Most Milwaukee Area Technical College families pay far less than the $16,255 sticker price. Students from households earning under $30,000 pay just $8,129 annually after aid. Even middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay $10,820 per year. The school serves working-class Milwaukee with 41% of students receiving Pell Grants. Over four years, total costs range from $32,500 to $67,900 depending on family income.

Graduates typically leave with $14,955 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $159. That debt load makes sense when median earnings hit $41,113 within ten years of graduation. The technical programs lead to solid employment with 94% of graduates finding work. Low-income students get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly half what wealthier families pay while accessing the same job-focused training that has served Milwaukee's workforce since 1912.
