About PTC .: Text Graphic: President's Welcome

Welcome to Pine Technical College. Forget everything you've ever heard about technical education.

Forget particularly what your mom and dad said it was like in years' past – we are not your parents ‘vo-tech.’

Immerse yourself in this web site - and then come to campus, if you haven’t already been.

What you will find is that Pine Tech is a dynamic, modern, aggressive and advanced college for the 21st Century. What you will see is a creative balance of the best of the old with the best of the new. What you will experience is both the same as and yet far different from what students of any previous generation experienced.

We are small and friendly - but we offer technology programs unique to Minnesota and the nation.

We are true to our promise of personal service to our students - but, our campus is more ‘wired’ and electronic than most universities.

We feature high technology - and we feature traditional trades. You can design a virtual reality simulation and you can build a custom rifle. You can connect a network to fiber optics and you can repair a vehicle’s transmission.

We are located in a small, warm rural community - but we are a partner in the Internet 2 and have more telecommunications than the local telephone company.

Look us over here objectively and with clear and open eyes. And verify that with a visit to the campus. We’ll welcome you in that old-fashioned, rural Minnesota way. And then we’ll knock your socks off.

Robert L. Musgrove, Ph.D.
President, Pine Technical College
