The University of Minnesota Morris (UMN–Morris) is a public liberal arts college in Morris, Minnesota, United States. It is part of the University of Minnesota system and was founded in 1960 as a public, co-educational, residential liberal arts college offering Bachelor of Arts degrees.

This is a strong option for students who want a true public liberal arts experience at a remarkably low price — just $9,110/year average net cost and a median debt of only $12,377 make it one of the more affordable four-year degrees you'll find. The numbers tell a mixed story, though: a 62% graduation rate and 73% freshman retention suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth asking about during a visit. Median earnings of $44,400 a decade out are modest, so it fits best if you're drawn to fields where passion and flexibility matter more than immediate high salaries.
