Introduction

Located in a relatively rural area right in the heart of the state of Wisconsin, Mid-State Technical College (also referred to as MSTC, its initials) has three separate though not very distant campuses in the communities of Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point. Mid-State Technical College is part of the Wisconsin Technical College System (which groups 15 other similar schools), and it is a public institution of a non-profit nature. It has been operating as of 1979.

Mid-State Technical College has broadened its program offerings over the course of the years, and currently it has more than 50 different programs available that culminate in technical diplomas, certificates or associate degrees.

Admissions

Mid-State Technical College observes an open admissions policy as is typical for an institution of its kind; qualified applicants are accepted almost without exception. Students apply for admission to a particular program and not to the school as a whole.

The application process is simple and entails submitting the application materials along with the $30 fee, providing an official high school diploma or GED certificate as well as official transcripts (including college experience, if applicable) and furthermore taking the Accuplacer assessment test or equivalent exam.

When simply intending to take an isolated class or two instead of enrolling in a full program (associate, diploma, certificate, apprenticeship, etc.) it is not necessary to submit a formal application.

Students

The student body at MSTC is almost entirely composed of in-state students. Though the level of students served annually is considerably greater when you factor in summer sessions and the fact that not all students remain for the entire year, in a given semester the school has average enrollment levels of between 2,500 and 3,000 students. Of these, a little over half are full-time students. The average age of degree-seeking students at MSTC is 28 years old, though according to the school the most representative age group is the 20-24 bracket. Women constitute the majority of students (around two-thirds of the population), a common phenomenon in schools all across the country. Full time students constitute a bit more than half the total student body.
