Learn the FACTS about the University and how we’re focused on the future.

Taking On A Chronic Budget Deficit

At St. Cloud State, the cost to teach our students is more than our revenues. In the past we’ve made difficult decisions along the way with cuts and reorganizations. We’ve filled in budget gaps with reserve funds. But that’s a risky way of running a university. And we want to be able to get on strong financial footing now, so that we can invest in areas of growth for the future.

Higher Education Is Changing And So Is Scsu

We are taking bold steps to face our challenges head on. This means balancing tough decisions with finding areas for investment to grow enrollment.

We’re bringing you the facts and a way to show your support.

80% of recent program reductions have FEWER THAN 3 STUDENTS ENROLLED.

75% of our students ARE ENROLLED IN 35 PROGRAMS.

Students are showing us what they want out of their learning experience.

We owe it to St. Cloud State, our alumni, current students, and community to address the chronic condition of our structural deficit, so that we can get back to doing what we do best.... staying focused on the success of our students. #IStandWithSCSU

WE ARE FOCUSING ON PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN DEMAND and meet workforce needs and industry trends.
