About
At Alexandria College, we believe education is for everyone. We help high schoolers across Minnesota earn college credit while finishing their high school diplomas, and guide adults of all ages to a career they love. Whether you’ve been planning your career for years or don’t even know where to begin, our admissions team can help you get started.
Alexandria College has small class sizes and instructors who get to know you as a person—not a number. We do our best work, and take pride in it. We celebrate leadership, exploring new ideas, and finding creative solutions. And, most importantly, we foster an environment where learners of all ages feel seen, respected, and empowered to succeed.
Show your skills in DECA, SkillsUSA, HOSA, or AAF. Become a leader in student senate or Phi Theta Kappa. And compete nationally in varsity sports like archery, baseball, clay target, eSports, fishing, golf, soccer, or volleyball. Paired with interest-based clubs, activities, and on-campus housing for 300 students, Alexandria College is a small college that feels big (and we're right in the heart of lakes country).
Alexandria College offers more than 50 programs in a variety of interest areas, from hands-on technical trades to transfer pathways that provide the first two years of a bachelor’s degree, at a fraction of the cost of a university. Most programs can be completed in two years or less, with some as short as one semester. Grants and scholarships are available to make college affordable – some students even attend tuition free.
Alexandria College is a member of the Minnesota State system of colleges and universities. With 33 colleges and universities across 54 campuses, Minnesota State is the largest provider of higher education in the state of Minnesota.
