About This School
University of Northwestern-St Paul is a private nonprofit institution located in Saint Paul, Minnesota with approximately 1,442 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Northwestern-St Paul has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 93%. The average net price after financial aid is $27,705 per year. The graduation rate is 68%, and the typical graduate earns $43,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
This is a solid option for students seeking a tight-knit Christian liberal arts environment, with a manageable median debt of $17,750 at graduation — well below the national average. The 92% acceptance rate makes it accessible, and the 84% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll generally feel at home. That said, the 68% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish, and median earnings of $43,400 a decade out are modest, so it's worth thinking carefully about your major and career path before committing.
