Description

Ridgewater College’s Willmar campus offers several dozen education programs designed to meet the needs of almost all students. Ridgewater College’s academics include associate’s and bachelor’s degrees as well as diploma and certificate programs.

Bachelor’s degrees are available in criminal justice, early childhood education, and business administration/management. The school has some online courses available, and a few AA or AAS degrees can be earned completely online.

Students interested in earning their bachelor’s or graduate education from a university are welcome to earn a transferable associate’s degree at Ridgewater prior to attending the more expensive universities.

The basic admissions requirement at Ridgewater College is possession of a high school diploma or GED and submission of an application along with the corresponding application fee. Veterans and their children may be eligible for GI Bill benefits, so they should notify an admissions representative of their status when they submit their application.

As an accredited school, the college is able to allow its students to use financial aid to help cover the cost of tuition. Students may be eligible for scholarships, grants, or loans and should speak to a financial aid representative for details. Tuition fees may vary for non-residents and students attending specialized programs.
