Your degree is closer than you think!

Adults today often need to balance educational goals with the demands of family and career. Students need flexible educational options in a setting that's close to work or home. Employers need a resource that provides career-oriented programs that benefit both businesses and workers. As a pioneer in outreach education, Saint Mary’s University seeks to create communities of learning when and where they are needed. The School of Graduate and Professional Programs serves as an academic and administrative portal maintaining instructional sites throughout Minnesota, parts of Wisconsin and in Nairobi, Kenya.

Since 2003, Saint Mary’s University has offered degree programs in Apple Valley at the Partners in Higher Education site. The Partners in Higher Education, an agreement among Dakota County Technical College, Inver Hills Community College and Saint Mary’s University, was formed in response to growing educational needs in the South Metro. With all three schools offering programs at the same convenient location, your degree – no matter what level you seek – is closer than you think!
