Academics

Studying online: a large share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 1,165 of Saint Mary's University of Minnesota's 3,831 students (30%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 887 (23%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

About Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

What type of institution is Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?

What is the acceptance rate at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota is approximately 93%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
What is the tuition at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?
Saint Mary's University of Minnesota's published in-state tuition is approximately $45,080 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?
Saint Mary's University of Minnesota reports total enrollment of approximately 3,817 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Saint Mary's University of Minnesota actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota is approximately $21,034 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $16,182 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $25,934. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?
Saint Mary's University of Minnesota reports a graduation rate of approximately 66%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Saint Mary's University of Minnesota have?
Students who borrowed at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota left with a median of approximately $21,500 in federal loans, and about 46% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of Saint Mary's University of Minnesota earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $58,170 for students who received federal financial aid at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Saint Mary's University of Minnesota?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Saint Mary's University of Minnesota.
