About the PSEO program
Most PSEO programs hand you a menu of general education courses. Dunwoody College of Technology hands you a major. Through its PSEO NOW! tracks, high school seniors enroll full-time and work directly toward a degree in Computers, Design, or Engineering at a private technical college in Minneapolis that industry has trusted for over a century.
That degree-first model changes the application. Dunwoody asks students to select a degree major before enrolling, and applicants complete a PSEO Worksheet with their high school counselor through the Admissions Portal, aligning college coursework with graduation requirements up front. The GPA requirement is a 2.5 for juniors and seniors, one of the most accessible bars among Minnesota private colleges.
Deadlines follow the state notification dates, May 30 for fall and October 30 for spring. For students who already know they want to build, code, or design for a living, Dunwoody's PSEO is arguably the most direct route in Minnesota: free tuition at a career-focused private college, with every credit pointed at a specific technical degree.
Why choose Dunwoody College of Technology for PSEO
PSEO NOW! degree tracks
Computers NOW!, Design NOW!, and Engineering NOW! let full-time seniors start an actual Dunwoody degree during high school, not a pile of unattached credits.
A century of industry connections
Dunwoody has trained the Twin Cities technical workforce since 1914, and its employer relationships and job placement reputation are the reason families pay private tuition, which PSEO students skip entirely.
An accessible 2.5 GPA bar
Among private colleges offering PSEO, Dunwoody's 2.5 requirement for juniors and seniors is unusually reachable, prioritizing motivation and fit over transcript perfection.
Counselor-aligned planning
The required PSEO Worksheet, completed with your high school counselor, forces the conversation about graduation requirements before you enroll, preventing the credit mismatches that derail some full-time PSEO students.

Campus & getting there
Dunwoody's campus sits on the western edge of downtown Minneapolis near the Walker Art Center and the Loring Park neighborhood, just off Interstates 94 and 394. That central location keeps it reachable from nearly any metro district, whether students drive or ride Metro Transit routes into downtown. PSEO NOW! is an on-campus, full-time experience, so seniors should plan their year around commuting to Minneapolis daily, the same rhythm they would have as full Dunwoody students.
Will my credits transfer?
Dunwoody is a regionally accredited private technical college, and its credits are strongest when they stay on mission: students who continue at Dunwoody after high school roll every PSEO NOW! credit directly into their degree, often finishing substantially early. Transferring elsewhere works course by course, as with any private college; general education credits travel best, while specialized technical coursework maps mainly to related programs. Since the tracks target Dunwoody degrees, most students enter intending to stay, and that is where the model pays off most.
