A distinctive undergraduate campus within the University of Minnesota

arts education with access to the resources and opportunities of one of 
the nation's largest universities. A founding member of the Council of 
Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC), Morris provides students with a 
rigorous academic experience, preparing them to be global citizens who 
value and pursue intellectual growth, civic engagement, intercultural 
competence, and environmental stewardship. The student body of nearly 
1700 is supported by 130 faculty members, a student/faculty ratio of 
13:1. The Morris campus is the most ethnically diverse in the University 
of Minnesota system, with 20 percent American Indian students, 10 
percent U.S. students of color, and 12 percent international students.

Morris is highly ranked by national publications -- U.S. News & World 
Report as a top-ten public liberal arts college; Forbes as one of the 
best colleges and universities in the nation; and Fiske Guide to 
Colleges includes Morris in its list of “the bestand most interesting” 
schools in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. Morris students 
consistently win national awards – in 2017-2018, Morris was the only 
public baccalaureate institution among the top student Fulbright award

highest proportion of faculty in the University’s Academy of
