The M3 College Connections Program is an innovative dual-enrollment program of Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM) that allows eligible students to complete their high school graduation requirements while earning college credits from both MATC and UWM at no expense to the student.
College Connections is designed for seniors to earn up to 21 college credits in core subject areas that satisfy general education requirements for most associate and bachelor’s degrees. Students split their time between MATC and UWM during the week and forgo their traditional senior year of high school.
At UWM, the program is administered by the Office of Dual Enrollment.
