Welcome to Mt. Pleasant Area Technical Center

At the Mt. Pleasant Area Technical Center students have the opportunity to earn college credit while in high-school. This process is known as articulation. Students can earn articulated college credit by demonstrating successful completion of a MPATC program. The Mt. Pleasant Area Technical Center has written articulation contracts with several mid-Michigan colleges and universities, such as: Baker College, Central Michigan University, Davenport University, Delta College, Ferris State University, Mid Michigan Community College, and Montcalm Community College.

Credit may be granted up to a predetermined maximum amount of credit hours, which will be determined by demonstrated student competency levels and/or exams. Please contact Diane Benford, CTE Counselor, (989-775-2210 x 8055), for more detailed information. Below is a list of current MPATC articulation agreements:
