We can not control all of the nicknames people may use for the College, but we can ask for a specific—or “official” —shortened college name to be used in second reference or as a nickname by the media and the public. We have asked that MATC no longer be used to identify Madison Area Technical College. When one types MATC into an Internet search engine, the user is directed to MATC-Milwaukee. MATC-Milwaukee owns the matc.edu Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Madison Area Technical College is currently accessed through matcmadison.edu.
