Saint Paul College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Saint Paul College is a community and technical college located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It was founded in 1910 and has about 7,500 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 an Associate in Arts degree in addition to the numerous technical and associate 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 complex located on a 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 was implemented in a new focus on liberal arts as well as the school's traditional vocational training. Major programs include AA Degree, 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 across from the Minnesota History Center.
