Pre-STEM Concentration

Know a student who is thinking of a career in the sciences, math, engineering or health? Or students who excel in STEM classes in high school? The summer before a student's first year at DFC, admitted students will be invited to apply the Pre-STEM Concentration to take a number of STEM courses on the St. Paul campus.

Group Visits

DFC Group Visits are a great way to introduce a group of high school juniors and/or seniors to the Dougherty Family College and the resources available to them. Group Visits are hosted on our Minneapolis campus on select days during the academic year. Your visit will include a live 30-minute admissions presentation followed by Q&A and a brief tour. Group Visits are subject to availability, and we cannot accommodate visits during university breaks or holidays.
