Minnesota's Private Colleges

1 our graduation rank in the Midwest

Our four-year grad rate is the best in the state and the Midwest — and it ranks fourth nationally. Graduating on time helps students avoid extra costs.

9 out of 10 students receive grants and scholarships

The average first-year student receives almost $23,000 in grants that will never have to be paid back.

12:1 average student-to-professor ratio

Most classes have fewer than 20 students and working closely with professors makes a difference in the quality of our students' education.

25% of our students come from families with incomes below $40,000

In fact, the median family income of our FAFSA-filing Minnesota students is lower than at the U of M.

60% of tuition on average is covered by grants and scholarships

The average amount families of first-year students actually pay for tuition is only 40% of the posted price.
