About This School

Minnesota State College Southeast is a public technical and community college with two campuses in Minnesota, one in Red Wing and another in Winona. The two campuses were originally two separate vocational institutes. The college is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. The Red Wing campus is nationally renowned for its string instrument and woodwind and brass instrument repair programs. There are only a few colleges in the nation which offer these programs. The United States Marine Corps and US Navy send their band instrument repair techs to the school.
This is a strong option for students pursuing technical or trade-focused careers, especially if you're interested in the nationally recognized instrument repair programs in Red Wing — one of only a handful of schools in the country offering that path. The financial picture is genuinely encouraging: median debt at graduation is just $9,500, well below the national average, and the $15,548 net price is reasonable for a public institution. That said, median earnings of $37,700 a decade out are modest, so make sure the specific program you choose has a clear path to a salary that justifies the investment.
