Agency: Utah College of Applied Technology Function The Mountainland ATC (MATC) is located in Orem with several campuses and educational centers located throughout the seven school districts it serves. MATC's enrollment for FY 2008 was 790,832 membership hours with nearly 60 percent being earned by high school students. Over the last six years, Mountainland has experienced the largest increase in membership hours when compared to the other ATCs. MATC and UVSC have developed a memorandum of understanding relating to partnerships, ATE program offerings, and articulation agreements. One of the partnerships is the sharing of the dental lab located at Mountainland. MATC uses the lab for dental assisting and UVSC for dental hygiene, eliminating duplication of space and equipment for both programs. MATC has entered into a partnership with the Alpine School District to lease-purchase an MATC campus in American Fork. That campus is operating at capacity and is planned to be relocated to the Thanksgiving Point development in Lehi where the state recently purchased 22.18 acres for a new campus to accommodate expected growth. This will allow Mountainland to better serve secondary students from several high schools and the growing numbers of adult students. MATC co-shares space with UVSC at the new Wasatch Campus located in Heber Valley. Wasatch High School has transferred its automotive department to that facility to serve students from Wasatch, North and South Summit, and Park City School Districts. The MATC offers courses in allied health care, business, information technology, and the technical trades. Mountainland offers two Associate of Applied Technology degrees. Funding Detail
