Dunwoody College of Technology occupies an urban campus in Minneapolis's Lowry Hill neighborhood, approximately two miles west of downtown. Founded in 1914 through an endowment from William Hood Dunwoody, the private technical college maintains its original mission of providing practical, technical education with an emphasis on hands-on learning. The institution offers bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and certificates primarily in engineering, construction, design, and technical fields, with programs in robotics, manufacturing, and architectural technology being particularly notable. Dunwoody's campus features industry-standard technical laboratories and workshop spaces where students engage in applied learning, and the college maintains strong connections with regional employers through industry partnerships and apprenticeship programs. The college operates as a commuter campus without residential facilities, serving primarily students from the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
