St. Cloud State University

Description

Message from President Roy H. Saigo St. Cloud State University's 15,500 students share a 135-year heritage of excellence and opportunity at our campus on the Mississippi River. Our first students came from neighboring farms and towns to learn how to teach Minnesota schoolchildren. Today's students come from every part of the state, the country, and 84 countries of the world to prepare to excel in business, communication, health care, social services, and a wide array of fields — including the education of Minnesota schoolchildren.In an environment that values whole-world education, civic engagement and critical thinking along with career preparation, SCSU is a comprehensive university offering 175 undergraduate and graduate programs of study. Most, including all programs in the prestigious G. R. Herberger College of Business, have exceeded the criteria for national accreditation and professional acclaim. Classes are taught by professors who have a desire to mentor as well as instruct, to impart a lifelong love of learning as well as practical knowledge and job skills. Seventy-nine percent of our faculty have attained the highest academic level for their field, the highest percentage of any of the 33 institutions in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System.Renowned for its colleges of education and business, SCSU also has popular programs in such diverse fields as mass communications and electrical engineering, psychology, meteorology and nursing. Student life is enriched by 200 campus organizations, a full component of men's and women's athletics — including the consistently top-ranked Division I men's Husky hockey team — and a wide variety of cultural and educational opportunities.
