About This School

St. Cloud Technical and Community College is a public technical college and community college in St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States. Founded in 1948 and formerly called St. Cloud Technical College and St. Cloud Vocational Technical College, it is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. The college grants Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science degrees in several majors; it also grants certificates and advanced technical certificates.
This is a strong option for students pursuing technical or career-focused programs on a tight budget — with median debt at graduation of just $8,265, you're unlikely to leave buried in loans. The median earnings of $42,100 a decade out are modest but reasonable given the associate-level credentials and trade-oriented programs on offer. Worth considering if you want an affordable, practical path to the workforce or a transfer stepping stone, but students with four-year professional ambitions may find the earning ceiling a bit limiting long-term.
