Earn MATC Credits While in High School
High school students can earn MATC college credits through MATC's Tech Prep initiative. This is a joint curriculum review process for advanced standing and/or curriculum alignment with high schools. The purpose of joint curriculum is to provide high school students with the opportunity to obtain advanced standing for successful completion of high school course work that is comparable to technical college course work.

Credit is awarded toward completion of specific MATC program graduation requirements. The MATC credit is applied when you are admitted to the specific program.

The number of credits awarded is specified in the individual agreements and, when applied, will appear on your MATC transcript without a grade. There is no fee for advanced standing by high school articulation.

Below is a list of programs and the high schools that offer advanced standing agreements. Prior to enrollment in an advanced standing class, please check with the individual high school. For more information, contact your high school counselor.
