16 Best Sonography Programs In Madison, WI (2022 Updated)

The building is not very inviting because it is so big, but once you get in and figure out what's where it becomes less intimidating. I graduated here with my associate's degree in Leadership. 60 of my credits transferred from NWTC to Concordia University of Wisconsin. I preferred the video conference classes. My favorite instructors were Tod Perrault and Andrew Clark.Travis Antone

My son is currently attending the school. I was a student there back in the early 80's. The campus is very nice. Helpful faculty, variety of courses and majors. Good food choices at the cafeteria and a workout area with plenty of free weights and machines with an attached gymnasium. Lots of nice areas to study both inside and outside.David Klinzing

Excellent place to take a test! I took a certification exam through Pearson Vue at NWTC. The test center employees explained everything thoroughly and the center itself was quiet enough to take my exam. They offer ear plugs as well so you won't be bothered if people enter or leave the room.Phillip Kurimski

I recently finished my second Technical degree for Metal Fabrication as a returning student. I delayed going back to school for years for lots of reasons, but mostly because I thought it would be as awful of an experience as High School was. Instead the teachers in my program were excellent. I was always challenged by the projects and supported in my learning in equal measure. If you're looking to get into welding or Metal Fabrication, these programs are career fields that need people, pay well, and you can learn them here! Don't sleep on the trade skills that can be taught here. Go to the open houses, see if these are things you're interested in doing. A 4 year degree isn't The guarantee of employment it used to be, but these one year Technical degrees, leading to in demand fields are.Travis H

Very nice tech college. Almost everyone you come across on campus can point you in the right direction. I just started school today online. But tomorrow I get to go to campus. It's a clean sanitary environment. There is currently some remodeling going on, so part of the building you cannot access… yet! AC was on, felt awesome. temperature didn't change much room to room either. All the employees seem to know their job very well and are willing to help. I chose Madison Area Technical College because I know many people that have graduated and successfully got into a job they wanted. This school is also smaller than UW Madison so I feel like the learning experience is better, more hands on, more participation versus a large school such as UW Madison.Shane Toycen

The good profs here are all just professors moonlighting from UW Madison, I'd honestly say you should apply to and go to literally any other UW system school before here. The quality of education isn't bad- but they somehow managed to misplace finances and put 650 bucks into collections randomly – without mailing me any notifications, and without a notifications on the online portal. You won't get competency from any of the administrative staff, expect 5 week long waits to see a counselor for any sort of urgent need. If you are a student with a disability – make sure you have additional copies of any medical documentation, they will claim to lose it. Most of the education staff despises the administrative staff and yeah, I can see why.Bee

Students pay tens of thousands of dollars for their nursing degrees only to sit in a 30 minute graduation ceremony with no cap and gown. It's very unfortunate that the staff here downplays such a wonderful achievement. Let's also not forget all of the "refreshments provided afterward"…. there were none. There was a student that passed away and her name was never acknowledged during the ceremony. Sad. Very sad.Tony Robertson

Don’t listen to this Andrew Schmidt clown, dude is a whole Karen giving places one stars and stuff. This dude must think he’s doing God’s work of being a Michelin reviewer.Savior Of The Asians

They’re remodeling this place two years after it was built. Do you really want people that shortsighted in charge of your education?Andrew Schmidt

Positive – I had a bittersweet experience at WCTC. As a honor student graduate of the Human Services program, I thought my instructors were excellent on that subject, particularly Lisa Walz. Additionally, my time spent in practicum was eye-opening and informative – as it should be. I thoroughly loved my major and felt teachers that were passionate and experienced in the field gave great real-life advice, especially the aforementioned Lisa Walz, Debra Farrington, Jason Witt, Trisha Wollin, and Carin Anick-Quinones. In addition to my Associate Degree, I also obtained certification in Developmental Disabilities and Youth Care Counseling. These have proven to be helpful transfer credits for my BA and soon towards my MA as well. The campus itself is a pleasant atmosphere for learning and I made some lasting friendships and resourceful contacts along the way. Negative – During my education I was pregnant and I was met with some hostility/prejudice. I had my child at the end of my Fall 15/16 semester and had to come in person to finish my "Math with Apps" exam, while the instructor was excellent in working with me – the person in the library (who I only had met to hand me my exam and did not catch his name) was rude and told me that he didn't think it was right that I be able to finish my course this way. I was just kind of dumb-founded, took my exam, passed with flying colors, and snuggled up with my babies. There was also another instructor, Dr. Mike Melnick who did not allow me to leave his class to use the restroom despite being as pregnant as I was. He felt it was unfair to the other students. There was one incident at the end of the semester where I was sick (and still pregnant) and he had no tissues in his classroom. He would not let me leave and instead gave me a cloth that looked eerily similar to a breastfeeding cloth to wipe my nose with.Meg Goodlad

Long story short. I was dropped off at the college center (the front building of the campus) and the 2 students who I waved at, to ask directions to the ‘S’ building deliberately started walking fast et and turned the corner. I ran into a janitor that gave me directions to the ‘S’ building with no issues I walk in to the ‘S’ building at 7:01pm And asked a group of woman where the victim impact panel program was being held and they pointed to a door. I knock on the door after checking and noticing they were all locked. (7:03 on the clock) An old white man late 70’s sitting down facing the door just shook his head at me. Then an older lady about the same age came to the door and told me to leave. I pleaded with her and told her I don’t have a car and nobody gave me directions when I got here She just refused to listen to me and shut the door in my face in the whole I was talking. I was 3 mins late and they wouldn’t let me in a program I paid to be into. And I was 3 minutes late. By the Ik when someone is acting different cause the color Of my skin. I love seen it throughout my 30 years on this earthnate mac

I have been happy with WCTC as a student. WCTC has a surprisingly diverse student body. I really enjoy being able to take classes online. I was worried about the accelerated schedule for my program but it has been great. Canvas is straightforward and easy to use. I have yet to meet an instructor who is not invested in my success. The campus is easy to navigate and offers nice student amenities. The college also offers resume writing assistance, free healthcare services, plenty of internship opportunities with local employers, and transfer agreements with great four year schools. Some downsides are some class schedules are not released until the week the class starts. I have not been able to get help with an updated plan for scheduling classes at all beyond my original plan. You will receive an annoying amount of spam/phishing emails and fake job offers. I regret not going back to school sooner! I hope this review helps.Christopher K

Every time I put mstc in gps I end up at the police station. I put midstate technical college and the gps takes me to the campus..its a little far for me so I keep forgetting to make the distinction in the name until I end at the stupid police station and… it is just very frustrating…the campus is worth the visit though. I have had a few classes there and it is a comfortable campus with a more than few lounging areas to study or just relax before class….Tam V (Tammer)

If I could give 0 stars I would. You are better off going to the University, they offer way better class times and days that you can manage especially if you are working a normal 9-5 job. This school is a joke and I am so disappointed in them. I feel like they try to create barriers for the students rather than help them graduate in a timely manner. I am sad that I wasted my time here and looking back I would have been better off going to UWSP.Laurin Lilga

If I could rate as negative i would, unhelpful staff and advisors, very rude teachers, teachers treating students differently and unfairly. Ridiculously poor, and unprofessional staff.Brad Wood

Great teachers and students. I could really learn here. Often I hear that people flunk classes etc at other schools because they don't understand the material. However, at BTC, I was able to really grasp the concepts and further my education. Teachers are willing to help outside of class if need be as well. Only dislike is the Student Success required class…I'm a straight A student and feel this class should only be required if you have low grades or be an optional course. Overall a great school!Abbie Potter

I have never had a bad experience with a teacher here. They are always well informed and good at explaining solutions in multiple ways. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is based on the fact that they like other colleges make you take some pretty useless classes. I really didn't learn anything from oral communications and that other class where all you do is 5 classes new student success. What a waste of time. The teacher was great though. She joked about the class all the time.Raquel Sepulveda

The staff at Blackhawk Technical College will do whatever possible to help students (and potential students) with all personal achievements/goals. Blackhawk's instructional faculty is reputable & well-informed. Blackhawk now offers cost-free tutoring in a newly remodeled room, just for this purpose. This is an excellent tech school. I attend, and so does my son. My daughter will attend this Spring. I highly recommend Blackhawk Technical College!Saraj E. Stephenson

Union South, at the University of Wisconsin, is the place to be prior to UW home football games. The marching band makes an arrival about an hour before kickoff and showcases the incredible talents of one the country's best college bands. Enjoy a New Glarus Spotted Cow beer and loaded brat and you'll think you're in heaven. Well, maybe it's just Madison, but it's about as perfect it is gets. Then join the band for short march under the Camp Randall arch for a nostalgic walk into the home of the Badgers.Dave Chaimson

Very large campus, with I believe 35k students on average. The campus and it's buildings are very nice. Luckily, I visited before school started, so it wasn't busy at all. University of Wisconsin-Madison even has it's own ice cream shop! I believe that UWM runs it's own dairy. The path by the lake is also very beautiful, and I would recommend walking there. My only complaint is that everything seems to be very spread out, but that's a good way to get steps.Griffin May

Great school. The safest school. Beautiful lakeshore. Academic quality is very high. Very strong for sociology, psychology, education, biochem, chem, chem eng., etc. Good place for raising kids on campus for grad students. Strong sports, football, basketball, hockey, etc. Very very gentle people on and off campus. Nice city full of highly educated people. Best campus for bike riding. Top hospitals. One of the best places to live too.Yun-Mo Sung

Had my first experience in the ER yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! The staff was all extremely helpful and friendly and made sure I was taken care of. Doctors and nurses were all informative and made sure all my questions were answered. Dr. Hayley Mann was incredibly sweet and amazing at her job and did everything in her power to make sure I was conformable during my procedure. Only thing that really sucked was the wait time, I had to wait around 3.5 hours even after the ENT specialist arrived to get a room but that isn't the fault of anyone so I don't hold it against them. Obviously I hope to never need to be in the ER again but if I do I would be happy going back here!Jake Gamer

Your staff always seems to be able to diagnose anything that a local ER sends home within moments of being seen. Never have I been to a hospital where everyone genuinely seems to care about the people they treat and this place does just that and I love to see it. My mom won’t go to our local ER anymore because they miss an infection in her blood or pneumonia and we always come straight here and she is usually home within a few days. Me and my family’s personal experiences here are always the best compared to so many other places my mom has been transferred to. Thank you all for going above and beyond in what so many other places would overlook, you do it right and it shows!Bailey Stoehr

The staff was exceptional. Dr Fleeman and is entire crew of people were wonderful. Explained every detail of my cardiac procedures to me. All the before, during and after things I needed to know. I wish I could remember the names of the nurses and all the techs that assisted me today, they were all wonderful. A special shout out the wonderful young man that got me set up my room and got everything started for me this morning. He made me very comfortable and a wonderful sense of humor at the ridiculously early hour of 6:30 AM. I sadly don't remember his name, but will remember how he made me feel. Thank you❤️Kim Metcalf

The Emergency Medicine Residency Coordinator (Sarah Fallon) is very disorganized and rude. She refuses to answer questions and ignores emails, which makes the program look bad. I'd personally stay far away from here.Aditi Grover

Nothing but the best care and compassion. Clearly stated expectations of care and talks to you in plain language not doctor speak. I have recommended them to family diagnosed with cancer.Teri Smith

Nice satellite campus that houses some of their continuing education and professional development courses. The classrooms are spacious, well lit, and easy to find, and the staff is pleasant and helpful. The only con is that this campus is not very accessible by bus – the nearest stop is only 500 feet away, but only two routes stop there, and the 500 foot walk is through a parking lot and across a four-lane highway.Maria S.

Transferred from Matc to uw. Very comfortable school, but gonna get the good teachers. Some teachers are part time, try not to get the part time teachersNicole Zhao
