Founded in 1948 as the second technical college in the state, SCTCC has committed to meeting the needs of our community with more than 75 degree options that match careers in the area.

More than 75% of our students come from the surrounding six counties and choose employment close to home after graduation in healthcare, business management, computer technology, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and more.  

While SCTCC has offered liberal arts and sciences courses for years, in 2010 the College became a comprehensive technical and community college offering the Associate in Arts degree in addition to technical programs.

Students who seek continuing study or employment outside of Central Minnesota find that their education is portable, especially when students choose further education at any one of Minnesota’s state universities.
