About This School
Saint Paul College is a public institution located in Saint Paul, Minnesota with approximately 3,813 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,495 per year. The graduation rate is 36%, and the typical graduate earns $36,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
Saint Paul College is an open-access public community college in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. The college enrolls about 11,000 students in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area and employs 126 full-time faculty, 116 part-time faculty, 233 staff members, and 18 administrative members.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — with a median debt of just $9,000 at graduation, students here take on far less than the national average. That said, median earnings of $36,000 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense for students pursuing specific vocational or technical programs where local job placement matters more than salary ceiling. The low cost and small campus size can work in your favor, but go in with a clear program goal rather than an undecided mindset.
