Introduction
We are excited to welcome you to Normandale Community College. Whether you are beginning your academic path, exploring new directions, or preparing to transfer to a four-year institution, we are here to help you shape your future.
Normandale is the largest community college in Minnesota with over 14,000 credit students, but with the strong supports and resources devoted to the whole student and the exceptional academic programs, Normandale has a small college feel.
Our campus has individuals from a variety of backgrounds, identities, experiences and beliefs, and it is the appreciation of these differences that enhance our community.
With more than 70 degrees, 600 academic courses, and hundreds of continuing education programs, there are a variety of options available for your learning or career path. Normandale is a top transfer college for many public and private four-year universities in Minnesota, and also has a long history of being a great starting point for students looking to transfer outside of the state or internationally. There are also amazing opportunities to go directly into the workplace through some of our health sciences programs and other academic areas.
Beyond our academic excellence, Normandale offers a vibrant student life with clubs, leadership opportunities, student government, honor societies, and recreational activities that help you connect, grow, and thrive.
All of the staff, faculty, and administrators at Normandale are committed to making sure you receive the highest quality education possible. We are proud of the opportunities inside and outside of the classroom we provide for you to learn and grown as you pursue your hopes and dreams. “We go above, so you can go beyond” is not just words, it is the commitment we have to help you achieve the goals you set out to accomplish.
We are delighted that your educational journey has led you to Normandale, and we encourage you to take advantage of all of the resources and opportunities that will be available to you during your exciting time here.
