Anoka-Ramsey Community College students (shown at the annual fall picnic) have increased by 4.4 percent comparing total headcount of fall 2006 with that of fall 2007.

“Anoka-Ramsey has been providing quality, cost-effective higher education for more than 40 years,” says Dr. Patrick Johns, President of Anoka-Ramsey Community College. “The increase in enrollment, particularly in returning students, highlights the college’s continual ability to offer programs and partnerships that meet the ever-increasing need for education and training in the area.”

To serve both new and returning students, the college offers an array of programs including:

• two-year degrees, such as associate in arts, associate in science, associate in applied science and associate in fine arts in music, theatre or visual arts, all of which provide easy transfer to many four-year college degree programs in Minnesota and surrounding states;
• on campus bachelor- and graduate-level degree programs through partnerships with Metropolitan State University, St. Cloud State University and, most recently, Minnesota State University Moorhead; and
• continuing education and customized training for working professionals and businesses.

The most recent additions to the college’s program offerings include: a fitness specialist program, an associate in fine arts degree in theatre and bachelor of science degrees in special education through Minnesota State University Moorhead at the Cambridge Campus.
