When 2018 Alum Karin Dahlin was researching new careers, trades were at the top of her list.

She was impressed with the local technical college community and the array of choices offered.

“I landed on Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) because the field offers an opportunity to learn a number of skills and is a growth industry with competitive pay.”

Minnesota State, the system of 30 state colleges and seven state universities, today released the results of a study that estimates the contribution of Minneapolis College to the regional economy to be $333.4 million dollars and 2,972 jobs.

Minneapolis College is announcing help for the city of Minneapolis to close the educational opportunity gap. The Division of Equity & Inclusion has hired permanent staffing dedicated to close that gap by supporting successful academic pathways for students.

In an area a third the size of a football field, the new Academic Success Center opened its doors for 6,700 students attending the College this fall. Looking over this large, ultra-modern space with its dedicated technologies, users can quickly see where they belong. And they can see the $156 spent per square foot.

Nearly 60 part-time tutors join the director and staff members in making sure students can obtain individualized support.

Minneapolis College was recognized with Minnesota State’s Innovative Partnering and Collaboration Award for its Summer Scholars Academy. The award was shared with Academy partners Century College, Normandale Community College, North Hennepin Community College and Saint Paul College. The recognition took place on October 24 during the annual Academic and Student Affairs Fall Leadership Conference at its awards banquet.

Starting Spring semester, textbooks savings will have gone past the million dollar mark since the savings program began Summer semester of 2017 at Minneapolis College. The price of traditional textbooks kept going up and up and up. Something had to be done and has been done.

Minneapolis College formed a committee in 2015 to address this major cost issue and started the program to reduce the cost of instructional materials for all students.

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the TRIO Student Support Services Program!  Student Support Services (SSS) is one of the eight federal TRIO programs that serve post-secondary students who are first-generation, income eligible or who has a disability but demonstrates an academic need for support.  

Student Support Services was first authorized in the 1968 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, which established President Lyndon B. Johnson’s goal of seeing that “no American talent is wasted.”

The new Academic Success Center is located on the 3rd floor of the Technical Building (T.3200).

We offer a modern, new environment for services including:

• Tutoring
• Computer Lab
• Speech Practice Lab
• Individual & Group Study Areas

These services are available to students at no cost.

When Minneapolis College student Tendar Tsering was 12 years old, he decided to leave his family in Tibet and cross the Himalayan Mountains to study in India. His passion for the field of healthcare motivated him as he embarked on this dangerous month-long journey of more than a thousand miles.
