Avoid "Diploma Mills"
Diploma mills, or degree mills, are fraudulent "colleges" that offer potential students degrees requiring little or no serious work. These "colleges" are not legitimate or accredited. Learn more about diploma mills at the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

Minnesota Private Four-Year Colleges
Minnesota State (Formerly MNSCU)
Minnesota's merged system includes all technical college, community colleges, and state universities. Viewbook of all campuses is here.
Technical colleges are two-year colleges that teach specific knowledge and skills leading to specific careers.
Community colleges are two-year colleges that can get you started on a bachelor's degree (four-year degree). You can take your first two years of college at a community college and then transfer to a four-year college or university to complete your degree. Community colleges, like technical colleges, also offer career programs leading directly to a job.
State universities are four-year institutions offering courses and programs leading to bachelor's, master's, and advanced degrees.
