School Description
Provided by Dunwoody College of TechnologyThe mission of Dunwoody is to provide leading-edge technological education and service to a diverse population of learners preparing for and practicing in business and industry.
Founded in 1914, Dunwoody is a private, not-for-profit, endowed institution of higher education. It is the oldest institution of its kind in the Upper Midwest, with an international reputation for outstanding educational programs. It is also the only non-profit, technical college in the Upper Midwest and one of only three nationwide.
Dunwoody offers associate and bachelor's degrees as well as a variety of certificate and diploma programs.
We provide an applied education that teaches the theoretical while providing hands-on application in labs and facilities that simulate the workplace. That means Dunwoody graduates are ready to make a contribution from their very first day on the job – which is why our graduates are so highly sought after. Dunwoody students learn real-world skills and build a work ethic and problem-solving abilities that are prized by business and industry.
Our faculty have real-world experience and are passionate about their chosen field of instruction. Many of them are certified at the highest level available in their field. We also take a student-focused approach, with our Elftmann Student Services Center providing tutoring, supplemental instruction and support all along the way.
The Dunwoody campus is located on 15 acres on the western edge of downtown Minneapolis . The Dunwoody buildings have a gross area in excess of 400,000 square feet devoted to the educational programs and administrative, recreational and support services. Shops and laboratories are furnished with tools and equipment typical of the industries employing Dunwoody graduates. In addition, Dunwoody operates a Southwest Metro Campus in Chaska in partnership with the Carver-Scott Educational Cooperative.
