An award-winning regional public university, St. Cloud State is located about an hour northwest of Minneapolis, along the oak-crowned west bank of the Mississippi River.
The 100-acre campus is between downtown St. Cloud and the Beaver Islands, a group of more than 30 islands that form a natural maze for a two-mile stretch of the river.
St. Cloud State offers more than 200 academic programs, including more than 60 graduate degrees.
