Minnesota State Community and Technical College is a public community and technical college with multiple campuses in Minnesota.

It offers more than 70 career and liberal arts programs on its campuses and more than 25 online programs and majors through its eCampus.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into a career-focused program — at just $11,274/year average net cost and a median debt of only $9,360 at graduation, students here aren't taking on much financial risk. The concern is that median earnings sit at $39,200 ten years out, which is modest, so this school makes the most sense if you're targeting a specific in-demand trade or technical field rather than expecting a high salary ceiling.
