Personal Attention
Our classes are small, so you can think big. With an average class size of 21 students, you'll have plenty of contact with your ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½s. They won't just teach you, they'll mentor you. In fact, that's one reason ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½s choose St. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½. They want to work at a university where investing in students is valued as much as getting published.
Students are also supported by the Center for Student Achievement, the Center for Well-Being, and other dedicated teams.
Global Experiences
In a global workplace, employers are looking for worldly graduates. And with over 300 different study abroad program options in more than 50 countries, there are endless opportunities to see the world and set yourself apart.
Research Opportunities
Go beyond the expected undergraduate curriculum by engaging in graduate-style research alongside faculty. That makes our students stand out when applying for graduate schools and competitive jobs. Our undergraduate researchers collaborate with companies like 3M, U.S. Bank and Polaris and organizations like Mayo Clinic and the YWCA St. Paul.
