Outcomes Overview
MATC graduates earn a median of $41,113 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 36% with typical debt loads of $14,955. Monthly loan payments of $159 consume about 4.6% of median income, well below troublesome levels. The school feeds Milwaukee's manufacturing base, healthcare systems, and skilled trades where technical certifications carry weight. A 94% employment rate reflects strong local demand for MATC-trained workers. The 34% loan repayment rate lags national averages, though this partly reflects the challenging economics many two-year students face. For career-focused programs in high-demand fields, MATC delivers an average return on investment.
