BENEFITS OF A 2-YEAR COLLEGE

Attending Saint Paul College is a no brainer. Here’s why.

Did you know that a college degree affords you higher lifetime earning ability, increased job security, and greater overall satisfaction in life? (Read more here.) Not everyone realizes you don’t have to start at or ever attend a four-year program to enjoy the same benefits. In fact, a two-year college like ours offers much wider flexibility, more personalized attention with smaller class sizes, and massive savings that no four-year program can compete with. Remember, you can always transfer later to complete a four-year degree elsewhere after savings thousands of dollars on the first year or two of your education here.
