St. Cloud Times — Deciding where to go to college is one of the most important career decisions many students and families will make. With more than 4,000 public and private higher education institutions nationwide, making the right decision can seem overwhelming.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are 140 public and private higher education institutions in Minnesota. Only a small percentage offer affordable high-quality education that prepares graduates for success. St. Cloud State is proud to be among those few — ranked in the top 1 percent of the most affordable universities in Forbes’ “America’s Top Colleges” list.
