Minnesota trains its welders almost entirely inside the public college system
21 of the state's 22 welding programs are public community and technical colleges, leaving 1 private option on the list. Median tuition among the 22 programs reporting a figure is $6,243, under the $4,728 national median.
That public-heavy mix doesn't mean flat pricing. Pine Technical & Community College in Pine City is the state's cheapest at $4,738; Dunwoody College of Technology in Minneapolis runs $27,836 at the other end, the state's only private program on this list.
