The welcoming atmosphere at the Minnesota State Wadena campus offers personalized, hands on education. The Wadena campus has an enrollment of 790 students. The low faculty to student ratio guarantees one-on-one attention and insures academic success.
Innovative career programs include HVAC training, cosmetology, network technology administration, electrical line worker program, and construction programs.
M|State Wadena is all about jobs- high paying jobs. Most of our students don’t look for jobs; jobs are looking for our students. Our students invest 9-18 months and are rewarded with long term high paying jobs. Let’s be real... hunting and fishing costs money and our graduates get paid!


There are 1,000 lakes within a 50 mile radius of the campus, so bring your fishing gear!
