What Saint Cloud Technical & Community College does

Saint Cloud Technical & Community College (SCTCC) is a public two-year community and technical college founded in 1965 and operated as a component institution of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system under the Minnesota State Board of Trustees. Headquartered at 1540 Northway Drive in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, with additional instructional facilities including a Health Sciences Building and the Heartland Building & Library, the college serves Central Minnesota with 75+ program options spanning Business/IT, Health Sciences/Nursing, Liberal Arts/Transfer Studies, and skilled Trades (construction, manufacturing, transportation repair). It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and holds program-specific CAHIIM accreditation through 2030 for Health Information Technology.

The college operates a direct-to-consumer enrollment model through traditional on-campus instruction, high-school PSEO dual-enrollment partnerships, online programs delivered via the D2L Brightspace LMS (with NC-SARA reciprocity since 2015 enabling interstate online delivery), and employer-customized workforce training. Students can pursue associate degrees for direct employment or seamless transfer to all seven Minnesota State universities, or shorter diplomas and certificates aimed at immediate workforce entry in healthcare, trades, business, and IT. Reported outcomes include a 98% graduate employment rate (2024), a 100% Psychology Transfer Pathway placement rate, 89% Health IT placement with a 94% RHIT exam pass rate versus the 80% national average, and accounting graduates passing accreditation at 2-3x the national average.

Revenue is generated through four streams: tuition and fees (2025-26 full-time tuition of $6,360 for 15 credits, materially below Minnesota State universities, the University of Minnesota, and Minnesota private institutions), Minnesota State and state appropriations, federal and state financial aid including Pell Grants and the North-Star Promise Scholarship, and auxiliary services such as the on-campus Community Dental Clinic, bookstore, and facility rentals. The college has 251-500 employees, contributes an estimated $184M annually to the regional economy, and serves both individual student consumers and enterprise customers through customized employer training (e.g., Career Solutions/DEED workforce programs funded by Drive for 5 and Pathways to Prosperity grants, and a multi-party childcare-workforce partnership with United Way of Central Minnesota and the Initiative Foundation).
