The University of Minnesota Crookston (UMN–Crookston) is a public college in Crookston, Minnesota, United States. One of five campuses in the University of Minnesota system, UMN Crookston had a fall 2022 enrollment of 1,489 undergraduate students. Students come from 20 countries and 40 states.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $10,874 average net price and low median debt of $12,500 make this one of the more affordable paths to a University of Minnesota degree, and the regional agriculture, business, and technology programs have real practical value. That said, the 50% graduation rate is a genuine concern — only half of students who start here finish, which is worth asking the school to explain directly. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small campus (under 1,700 students), want the UM system name without the Twin Cities price tag, and have a clear plan to stay on track toward completion.
