The mission of Saint Paul College is to provide: Education for Employment.. Education for Life!
Saint Paul College is a community and technical college located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was founded in 1910 and has over 9,000 full-time and part-time students.
It was formerly known as St. Paul Technical College (SPTC). Accompanying the name change, the college implemented a liberal arts program and a bachelor's degree in addition to the numerous technical and associates degrees it offers.
Saint Paul College began as a “Boy’s Vocational School” in 1910 and served young men interested in working in the building trades. Later, “Girl’s Vocational School” opened to train young women for health careers. Shortly after World War II, a veteran’s program was developed for returning servicemen. Learning took place in area high schools and other St. Paul locations until 1966 when faculty and staff moved into its current facility; a 523,000 square foot complex located on a 30-acre site. This site became Saint Paul Technical Vocational Institute, or Saint Paul TVI.
In 2002, the new name, Saint Paul College: A Community & Technical College were implemented in a new focus on liberal arts as well as the school's traditional vocational training. Major programs include automotive, culinary arts, nursing, and cosmetology.
The College is located near the heart of St. Paul, Minnesota, next door to the Cathedral of Saint Paul and catercorner to the Minnesota History Center.
