MINNESOTA'S BEST COLLEGES

Many colleges claim to be the best, but how many actually have it in writing?

Alexandria Technical & Community College and Minnesota State Community and Technical College were named Minnesota’s Best Colleges by Wallethub and Niche. These rankings reflect things like affordability, student success and job placement. While we appreciate the pat on the back, these things are what have always made us special. At ATCC and M State, we work hard to ensure students get the best education possible and graduate with strong job prospects, without breaking the bank.

Why settle when you can learn from the best?
