Colleges and Schools

St. Cloud State University is divided into six colleges and schools. By organizing our academic programs this way, we're able to create more nimble academic units that respond quickly to changing needs within the marketplace so that we can offer our students the most relevant and useful courses of study.

In addition to promoting collaborative research and outreach, this approach allows us to provide our students with a more rigorous, integrated and engaged experience. Our students have the opportunity to work closely with experienced professors and participate in real-world research projects that directly relate to their course of study.
