In fall 2019 Minnesota State College Southeast's campus in Red Wing, located 60 miles southeast of the Twin Cities, will introduce Bicycle Design & Fabrication, a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree program.

Major manufacturers in the college's area include Red Wing Shoes, Valley Craft Metal Fabrication, Gemini Manufacturing, and 3-D printing company Protolabs.
The program comprises welding and machining, metallurgy, working with composites, mechanical design, CAD drafting, rapid prototyping, and thermodynamics.
