Sticker price: $31,070
Net price (after aid): $16,778
Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)
For families earning $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $1,508. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.
The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedUniversity of Minnesota Twin Cities does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $75,868, above the $37,199 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Minnesota.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a small share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 1,909 of University of Minnesota Twin Cities's 54,890 students (3%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 17,795 (32%) 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.

Median earnings of graduates who received federal student aid, worked, and were not enrolled in school; debt is the median federal loans borrowed at this college by graduates who borrowed (Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized and Grad PLUS; not Parent PLUS, private loans or interest). Programs with too few graduates are suppressed by the Department of Education. The Department reports these figures for all 2 campuses that share University of Minnesota Twin Cities's federal aid ID, not for this campus alone. Monthly payment assumes a standard 10-year plan.

Over the Cap: graduate programs where typical debt exceeds the federal loan limits in force since July 2026. Nursing graduates vs RN pay by state: the early-career benchmark.
Frequently asked questions
About University of Minnesota Twin Cities
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is University of Minnesota Twin Cities located?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities is located in Minneapolis, MN, in the United States.
- What type of institution is University of Minnesota Twin Cities?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities is a public university based in MN. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at University of Minnesota Twin Cities?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at University of Minnesota Twin Cities is approximately 80% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities's published in-state tuition is approximately $17,214 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities reports total enrollment of approximately 56,666 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does University of Minnesota Twin Cities actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at University of Minnesota Twin Cities is approximately $16,778 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 $6,642 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $27,008. 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities reports a graduation rate of approximately 85% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities have?
- Students who borrowed at University of Minnesota Twin Cities left with a median of approximately $19,500 in federal loans, and about 28% 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $69,020 for students who received federal financial aid at University of Minnesota Twin Cities. 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities?
- 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 University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
- How much do Computer Science graduates from University of Minnesota Twin Cities earn?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities's bachelor's graduates in Computer Science earned a median $111,661 four years after graduating, 4% above the $107,009 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $82,861; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $18,577 in federal loans at this college (about $197 a month on a 10-year plan). The figure is reported for all 2 campuses that share University of Minnesota Twin Cities's federal aid ID.
- How much do Psychology graduates from University of Minnesota Twin Cities earn?
- University of Minnesota Twin Cities's bachelor's graduates in Psychology earned a median $58,449 four years after graduating, 15% above the $50,706 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $36,294; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $19,012 in federal loans at this college (about $202 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $20,674 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 2 campuses that share University of Minnesota Twin Cities's federal aid ID.
- Which programs at University of Minnesota Twin Cities have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 113 programs at University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Dentistry, professional-degree ($185,225); Business Administration, master's ($162,817); and Computer Engineering, master's ($161,999) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does University of Minnesota Twin Cities get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, University of Minnesota Twin Cities's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $75,868, above the $37,199 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Minnesota, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
