If it’s been a while since you’ve been on campus, or even if you’re attending for the first time, taking college classes as an adult has its own special challenges.
Learning environments and expectations have changed – but Normandale has the degree options, flexible scheduling, and personalized planning you need to be prepared and be successful.
The biggest changes you’ll see are remote and hybrid courses. While you can still take traditional classes on campus, you’ll also find courses that are fully online or a combination of both.
Looking to get your bachelor’s degree? No need to look any further – Normandale partners with three colleges to offer on-campus classes.
Normandale offers the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, a guaranteed set of general education credits that transfer to the University Minnesota system, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and many Minnesota private colleges.
Normandale offers non-credit courses that can help you achieve your goals, whether you want to advance your career or enrich your personal life.
Academic planning. Tutoring. Career Services. Counseling. The experts at Normandale are ready to help.
