REASONS TO ATTEND SAINT PAUL COLLEGE

Program Options

Get started in less than a year with a certificate, or increase your career opportunities with a diploma or AAS degree. Thinking of transferring? Our Transfer Pathway AS degree is a great start. You can also focus on using sign language in an early childhood setting with our ASL AS degree. The choice is yours!

Learn to be a supportive and positive influence.

Learn to be a positive, nurturing influence in a child’s life. This career creates the opportunity to support and advocate for strong, healthy families. Child Development lets you enjoy watching many “first” experiences and ideas when a child discovers something new.

Expand and grow within child care development.

Opportunities exist for students to transfer to a 4-year institution after earning a degree. Our job placement rate is well over 95% in a career that is in high demand.

Attend college with financial assistance.

Scholarship money is available for those who are already in the field and want to earn a degree. Saint Paul College offers various scholarship opportunities for fall, spring, and summer terms. Each year the college awards over $300,000 in scholarships to more than 300 students. Unlike a student loan, a scholarship is a gift that is not paid back.
