Minnesota colleges ranked in new WalletHub study

WalletHub has released its latest rankings of the best colleges and universities in Minnesota for 2027. The personal finance website evaluated institutions based on 30 different factors across seven categories, including student selectivity, cost and financing, student-to-faculty ratios, graduation rates, campus safety, diversity, and post-graduation earnings.

The rankings come amid rising costs for higher education, with tuition, room, and board expenses increasing significantly in recent years. For families navigating these decisions, the study provides an outside perspective on how various institutions compare regarding academic and financial metrics.
