The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is a public university in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. It is part of the University of Minnesota System. UMD offers 17 bachelor's degrees in 87 majors, graduate programs in 24 different fields, a four-year program at the School of Medicine, and a four-year College of Pharmacy program.
The numbers tell a mostly encouraging story here — median debt at graduation is just $16,000, which is genuinely low, and median earnings of $56,300 a decade out means most graduates can manage that loan load comfortably. The 82% acceptance rate and reasonable $18,464 average net price make this an accessible, affordable option, particularly if you're drawn to health fields like medicine or pharmacy, where UMD has dedicated four-year programs. The one flag worth noting is the 64% graduation rate — that means roughly 1 in 3 students doesn't finish, so be honest with yourself about fit, support needs, and whether Duluth's somewhat isolated, cold-weather environment works for you long-term.
