This is a solid option for students drawn to a values-grounded liberal arts education in the Twin Cities, where strong career outcomes — median earnings of $62,900 after 10 years — and a manageable median debt of $19,500 suggest graduates tend to land on their feet financially. The 85% acceptance rate makes it accessible, and an 86% freshman retention rate signals that most students who enroll are glad they did. The one flag worth watching is the 75% graduation rate — not alarming, but it means roughly 1 in 4 students doesn't finish, so it's worth asking admissions what academic support looks like for students who struggle.
