Providing Graduates with a Competitive Advantage
DCTC offers a high-quality, affordable education in a convenient southern Twin Cities location. Established in 1971, DCTC brings more than 50 academic programs to its main campus in Rosemount, as well as locations in Apple Valley and Eagan, and is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA).
DCTC prides itself on being on the cutting edge of technology and ahead of trends in the marketplace. While still maintaining long-running programs such as accounting, automotive mechanics, truck driver training, nursing and child development, DCTC also offers programs in emerging, growing and high-demand areas. Nanoscience technology, exercise and sport science and railroad conductor are some of the programs that have been added to address marketplace needs.
As the only technical college in the rapidly growing Dakota County area, DCTC is equipped to train the kind of competitive workforce the region will need in the coming decades. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to ensuring our graduates leave our campus fully prepared to meet challenges, contribute to society and reach their personal goals.
