Mayville State University is a public university in Mayville, North Dakota, United States. It is part of the North Dakota University System.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $14,454/year net price and a median debt of just $12,268 at graduation, this small North Dakota school is genuinely affordable, and it may suit students who want a tight-knit campus with only 704 undergrads. The concern worth taking seriously is the 40% graduation rate — fewer than half of students finish, which suggests many struggle to complete their degree here, and that's a red flag worth discussing before enrolling.
