Administrative history

St. Cloud State University was established by the state of Minnesota in 1869 as the Third State Normal School.

Scope and content

The undergraduate catalog represents the most official publication of St. Cloud State. Dating back to 1869, the catalog describes the purpose of the university, admission requirements, classes and class descriptions, tuition and fees, buildings and grounds, and faculty.  Early catalogs list students by class and often include images of campus buildings.

Starting with the 2012/14, both graduate and undergraduate catalogs are combined together.  These PDF catalogs were created from Curriculum Navigator, the online course management system. In 2022, CourseDog replaced Curriculum Navigator.

The catalog includes both undergraduate and graduate; the catalogs, which were printed separately in the past, are now together.

Most of the catalogs are bound together by year.

System of arrangement

The undergraduate bulletins are split into two separate series.

Series 1: Reference Copy

This series contains the most complete run of SCSU undergraduate catalogs from 1869 and is used for reference purposes. This series is in chronological order.

Series 2: Archives Copy

This series contains, when possible, two copies of each undergraduate bulletin from 1869. Catalogs here are duplicated in Series 1.

Records are located 53A.2f-4a and 29B.1a-2f.
