A national publication has ranked six two-year colleges in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system among the top 50 community colleges in the country. These rankings are based on the results of Community College Survey of Student Engagement and graduation rate information. Though any rankings of this kind are going to present an incomplete picture of any individual college, what a great picture of higher education in Minnesota! Dane Smith, commenting on this fine showing put it well: “with less than 2 percent of the nation’s population, Minnesota has 14 percent of its very best two-year colleges.” More information at http://www.mnscu.edu/media/newsreleases/current/article.php5?id=170.
