University of Minnesota-Duluth

One of the University of Minnesota System's major regional outposts, the University of Minnesota Duluth enrolls around 11,000 students annually, offering more than 90 degrees at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

85% of students
graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their
