Where is Century College located?

What type of institution is Century College?

Century College is a public community college based in MN. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.

Is Century College open admission?

Yes. Century College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.

What is the tuition at Century College?

Century College's published in-state tuition is approximately $6,214 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.

How many students attend Century College?

Century College reports total enrollment of approximately 8,726 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.

What is the graduation rate at Century College?

Century College reports a graduation rate of approximately 31% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much do graduates of Century College earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $19,462 for students who received federal financial aid at Century College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.

How should I verify final details about Century College?

CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Century College.

Does Century College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Century College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $57,370, above the $37,199 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Minnesota, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
