Why Choose ATCC?

ATC Sign

Alexandria Technical & Community College's career placement is among the highest of all Minnesota public 2-year colleges. Seriously! In fact, we've successfully placed an average of 92% of our graduates in their chosen career field for several decades. Being an ATCC student means you can feel confident in your ability to find a related job in your field of study once you graduate. The college provides quality education, whether you are planning to start your career or just beginning your education—at a fraction of the cost of a university.

There are over 50 programs and majors to choose from. We know you'll find something you're interested in. Finishing most degrees in only two years or less makes the college both affordable and time saving!

If two years is too long for you to be out of the workforce, check out certificates and diplomas that can be completed in one year or less. Certificates and diplomas equip you with specific skills and knowledge that will set you apart in the workplace.

Maybe you're not quite ready to be part of the workforce. That's OK. Start your education at ATCC and transfer to a four year college to finish. Still in high school? Check out our PSEO program that allows you to earn credits toward a college degree and your high school diploma.

Alexandria Technical & Community College is more than textbooks, classes, labs, and studying. There are plenty of organizations, sports, and student activities to keep you from getting cabin fever. Alexandria is a fun and safe community filled with restaurants, shops, theaters, and plenty of outdoor recreational activities. Visit www.alexandriamn.org for more information.
