Who we are
Welcome to MinnPoly:
Where hands-on training meets lifelong learning.
A better future begins where the worlds of education and business converge.
As the first and only polytechnic in Minnesota, the Minnesota Polytechnic & Applied Learning Institute (MinnPoly) offers a different educational path that’s both practical and powerful. A hands-on approach that focuses on applied or experiential learning to solve real business challenges.
You’ll get training through a combination of project- and work-based learning that connects you with potential employers and prepares you for a brighter future post-graduation.
OUR DIFFERENCE
Learn by doing:
Two empowering ways of doing it.
Learn by completing industry-provided projects to develop the in-demand skills you need to become a successful professional. Close attention from instructors will help you better absorb knowledge and get invaluable direction and training you can apply.
Get hands-on experience working directly with businesses. You’ll hone your professional social skills, enhance your critical thinking abilities, and gain the resourcefulness and resilience to overcome working world challenges.
