Normandale Community College

Normandale Community College is located in Bloomington, Minnesota, approximately 10 miles south of downtown Minneapolis. The two-year public institution operates from a suburban campus spanning 90 acres, featuring modern academic buildings and extensive natural areas including walking paths and Japanese gardens. Established in 1968 to serve the southwest Twin Cities metropolitan area, Normandale provides comprehensive transfer and career programs, with notable strengths in nursing, business, and STEM fields. The campus includes dedicated facilities for science and healthcare education, a fine arts complex, and a recently expanded student center, though it primarily serves commuter students without on-campus housing. Normandale maintains transfer agreements with numerous four-year institutions across Minnesota and partners with Minnesota State University-Mankato to offer select bachelor's degree completion programs on its campus.
