As Minnesota's largest private Catholic university, the University of St. Thomas is highly regarded for its commitment to social impact and its top-tier undergraduate programs, most notably within the Opus College of Business and the School of Engineering. Set on a picturesque, collegiate campus along the Mississippi River in Saint Paul, the student experience blends a supportive, values-centered community with vibrant campus traditions and active service-learning opportunities. What truly sets St. Thomas apart is its historic, direct leap from NCAA Division III to Division I athletics and the powerhouse "Tommie Network," a deeply loyal alumni base that provides undergraduates with unparalleled internship and career connections across the Twin Cities.
