Beginning July 2011, Anoka Technical College and Anoka-Ramsey Community College, which has campuses in Coon Rapids and Cambridge, share a single president as part of an effort to better serve students in the area of the northern suburbs of Minneapolis–Saint Paul served by the two schools.
All programs offered at Anoka Technical College are approved by the Minnesota State College and Universities system, the Minnesota Division of Rehabilitation Services, and the state-approving agency of Veterans Education.
The college was granted initial accreditation by the North Central Association on March 5, 1999.
The plant transitioned in the war effort to make tarps for the military during WWII.
Periodic investments over time have transformed the building into a state-of-the-art technical college.
