About This School

Century College is a public community college in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. It is a member of the Minnesota State system. It was founded in 1967 as Lakewood State Junior College and in 1996 merged with Northeast Metro Technical College to become Century College.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — with median earnings of just $20,000 a decade after enrollment, graduates are earning below the poverty line for a family of four, which raises real questions about return on investment. As a small for-profit institution with only 509 students, you won't get the breadth of programs or resources of a larger school, and for-profit colleges warrant extra scrutiny around accreditation and credit transferability. Unless this is the only accessible option for your specific situation, it's worth seriously comparing nearby public or nonprofit alternatives first.
