20 Best Mfa Programs In Minneapolis, MN (2022 Updated)

In the spring of my senior year of high school, I did a self guided 10 minute tour of Macalester with my mom (after applying to Mac on a whim). I saw a guy in overalls with crazy socks and crocs walking around campus and told my mom "I think I should go here." Macalester was not part of the plan, but I am so happy and grateful it became my home. Some of the best people on the planet are found here and they will challenge you and help you grow. I am continually inspired by my classmates and friends post-grad for how they are co-creating a world that is more just and sustainable. So much love always for Mac <3Ariana Hones

Beautiful campus – especially in the fall! I love being able to go on runs by the Mississippi River and go to concerts in the Twin Cities. The people are also some of the most dedicated and engaged individuals I've ever met. My first year floormates remain some of my closest friends to this day. I also still keep in touch with professors. They are so accessible and really want to see you succeed! During my time at Mac, I had multiple professors invite me to their homes and take time to get to know me outside of the classroom. The faculty to student ratio is one of the main things that makes Mac special.Sierra Pancoast

I had a great experience at Mac, and I would strongly recommend it for anybody looking for a liberal arts education in an urban setting. The culture on campus is great, the classes and professors are high quality, and Minneapolis, St Paul, and surrounding suburbs have tons of social life accessible via public transit or car.Ari Weiland

So forever grateful I was able to spend 4 amazing years at this school. I am not sure what the other people reviewing recently are talking about, as I felt the community at this campus is very welcoming and friendly. It is a catholic school so they do teach and emphasize catholic studies, however there are many classes that center around other beliefs. I never felt like my beliefs were being stomped on, and I am not catholic. Also, if you are worried about your social life and getting the college experience, don't be! You can definitely still have the college experience and attend St. Kate's. The campus always has activities going on, and there are many schools in the area. I would definitely recommend this university!Katie M

First I want to say my advisor was amazing she was super helpful through all this mess. I was supposed to start this month but they said they were missing things so I couldn’t get in until the next semester when they had everything. but we had already sent them everything we had sent to every other college we applied to. They were the only ones we had this problem with. They then today told me that we weren’t gonna be accepted due to the fact that they don’t accept the accredited bodies that my school was accredited by due to varying standards idk what that means. But this was all something I wish they had just told me that from the beginning. absolute waste of my time and just stressful, plus expensive.Maddie Grace

This school is way too expensive for an OTA degree. You can also get the same online degree at less expensive colleges. I do not recommend St. Kate’s to anyone. Unless you have the extra money to waste. Plus, their requirements are ridiculous. Before I spent my money I did my research and thankfully I found an excellent college with amazing people who are always willing to help their students.Clara Diaz

They want everyone to attend classes on campus. Come on. They proudly and loudly proclaim "Saint Paul College – We're Back this Fall". There are multiple new COVID variants out now with record hospitalizations in MN but Saint Paul college wants us all on campus. My wife and I are both working from home. Our employees cared enough about our safety to let us do this, but Saint Paul college wants us all on campus. My wife is taking classes at a private college and they told her all classes will be online, at least for now. No need to risk your health and come in, but Saint Paul college wants us all on campus. Thankfully I did my research by talking to them and decided against going here. Spending a little more so that I can stay at home and take my Lit classes online. Don't bother with this place. If you can, spend a little extra and have the peace of mind that you won't end up in the ICU with a tube down your throat. There, I did my research so you don't have to. Feel free to call them. They literally want everyone back on campus. Ridiculous and unsafe.Dana Cooper

I havnt attended this school, & along with my experience so far & reading the reviews I may not. I have a degree; however, I work as a nursing assistant. I love my job, but I often see aids being treated pretty poorly. So, as I get older, I thought maybe I could look into being an LP . In this role, I could work fairly with the aides around me…blah, blah, blah. So I requested more information. I recieved no call back, only an email saying I had to put an application in. Eh, no. I want information from you, to see if this is a good fit, so I can decide if I want to put an application in….I guess, maybe within the bigger picture, I did get the information I needed.Jane Hallett

I ate at the City View Cafe at St. Paul College. This is the cafe that is operated by the students in the culinary program. I recently enjoyed the Valentines Tasting menu and it was fantastic. The only criticism I had for the meal was the shell on the dessert was a bit thick (I cannot believe I am complaining about dessert). It was hard to gracefully eat but it was so worth it. The combination of flavors was divine. If this meal was any indication of the talent these students have, we are going to have sone great chefs (hopefully in the Twin Cities area) in the future.Sharon Moen

Great facilities. Everything else was lacking. I experienced little or no guidance when selecting a major or finding a career. Really disappointed with the instruction, the curriculums, it’s really hard to get the classes you want. safety is not great, I had a laptop stolen, was almost run over in the parking lot by a drunk driver and security did nothing both times. The culture at the school is very clique-ish, It’s not the most welcoming environment, it doesn’t help that most students are introverts and that this is the Midwest and everyone is passive aggressive. This all leads to a toxic environment that’s palpable at times. Students are wound so tight because classes are long, the attendance is strict and everyone is tired from pulling all-nighters all the time because the competitive pressure is huge, That wouldn’t be so bad but Campus life is non-existent there is no meal plan, the cafeteria hours aren’t great. Finally students are held to a higher standard than the faculty and staff, an example: it’s annoying to lose a letter grade if you miss two classes, but then have a teacher that’s late and under prepared everyday is irritating. There is no excuse for late work yet grades are never updated in a timely fashion. The school likes to have this polished image for its donors and when the school throws events students are treated like second class citizens. And for many of the instructors this just seems like a job for them to pad their resume, that’s why there is such a large turnover with instructors at MCAD.Jeffrey Tuura

Having been in the workforce now for almost 7 years, I can say my education at MCAD has shown to be exceptionally better than a state university. The practical experience I received at MCAD made me stand out at the beginning of my career. Now I see how I’m more open to new ideas, I’m more creative, have a lot more patience, and I’m much more team oriented than my peers. I would suggest the BSc program at MCAD to anyone looking at going into marketing or advertising as a career. No college is perfect. MCAD professors can be hit or miss. The counseling side when I was there was non-existent. The college itself markets itself as being prestigious, when a majority of students are giant geeks who just love making art. Which to me is what makes the school fun and interesting. But at the end of the day, if I could do it all over again, I’d still pick MCAD. Best decision I ever made.Jenna Ballinger

I attended the Pre-College Summer Session in 2017 here at MCAD and I love every minute of it. The campus is perfect for all of our needs. The Art Cellar here is top notch and have everything from paints to pens to paper. Anything an art student would need at an affordable price. The Service Bearau here is also very good. The people there are super helpful in assisting me with my final project. The College Center here has a ping pong table as well a pool table & arcade machine. The campus is also very close to Nicollet Ave. so there is easy access to a bunch of restaurants and cafes.Angela Zhang

Bethany Lutheran Church, worshipping virtually (Zoom), physically distancing, but keeping our ties is now conducting the Sunday at 10 am Worship Services from the beautiful Gundale Chapel on Augsburg Campus. At this time limited to only worship leaders on site we are looking forward to when we can safely gather in person. Augsburg University and especially Leif Anderson has been wonderful to work with as Bethany moves out into the community and into a public church in passing on its physical building to Augsburg. Augsburg's support of spiritual and faith growth of its students and community within different religions is a joy to see and Bethany is glad to be a part of that.Lorraine Wookey

The cafeteria is subpar, not only in food quality, but in sanitary means. There is low variety and Augsburg encourages food waste by requiring that students' meals fit certain criteria, because they are paid to do so. As for cleanliness, the floors are sticky, and it is common to find a crushed banana or two on the floor. The tables and floors are not cleaned regularly, if at all, resulting in an unhealthy eating environment, full of bacteria. Not to mention, this school encourages unhealthful habits such as food waste and cleaning habits. This cafeteria should not remain in service.Ansel Erol (Sir. Anselot)

My mother, sister, and I are all proud alumnus of Augsburg (Class of 97', 08' & '16). The professors are great – they are always willing to help a student. Every year, at the beginning of the Fall Semester, students go out and volunteer around the community. They invite well-known speakers (i.e. Bill Nye, Steve Wozniak, and Jimmy Carter) to campus; both the public and students are invited to attend. They are open to all regions, not just Lutherans. I would recommend this school to anyone, but consider going to Community College then transferring, it helps with the cost.Tiffiney Biorn

When I first started signing up for my MBA I advised them that I had just graduated with my bachelors degree. My goal was to start August 5, and I submitted all my necessary paperwork and cooperated as such. When it got to my transcripts I was advised I could not start because the conferral date was not on the transcripts. The enrollment specialist told me to reach out to my previous school. I did and it was a hassle. I called the enrollment specialist at Capella to advise of the updates to only find out that Capella’s registrar team had already been in contact with my school. I wanted to start on the 5th as it was very discouraging to go through the process to be turned away at last minute. 1). Total waist of time as I took time out of my day to complete orientation and do what they advised of me. 2) I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very vague and could not provide the information needed. 3) I again called Capella to try and escalate the situation, but the manager never returned my call. I feel as if they had me sign up because they were the ones to get paid for each student to enroll and failed to educate me properly in the beginning, which is very misleading and discouraging. Since no one wanted to comply and take responsibility I will be escalating this to the BBB as this is not my fault and I should had been able to start in the promised time given and should have been educated properly.Tearra McCray

The worst university ever! They made me waste my time and my money from the first day, every time I communicated with them each counselor told me something different, and more than a month passed and I did not have an accurate answer on the status of my application, after a month a person from human resources let me know that I had to do my transcripts equivalency again on another website because the one I had already sent twice to them waiting for they review it (and that they themselves told me it was okay to do it that way) was not valid for them to take me into account to start the course this past October. 1- First time the transcripts were not encrypted, so they asked my to ask the institution they send it again but encrypted this time and I did it and sent it again. And after that they let me know that didn’t work for them. So I wasted my time, my money and above all the opportunity to start on the desired date. A very bad job of the staff. Very bad communication with the students who want to start there, and they also contradict each other. They all say different things and waste your time. They are also very rude. I hope that no one has this bad experience, nor misses the opportunity to start the course on the date they planned, and due to the horrible work of other people you lose opportunities in life.Claudia Espinosa

From the beginning of my Master's level school search, Capella stood out. I had a great recommendation from a friend already, but in researching complete online programs to work with my schedule, Capella checked all of the boxes I needed. I had a wonderful experience with my admissions counselor and continue to have great interactions with all communication. I am happy with all faculty thus far and feel that I am learning exactly what I need for my future as a school counselor. The course load is what I expected it to be and the time I spend on classwork is time well spent. I feel very confident that I will be prepared to enter the field of school counseling when I graduate. The very first thing Capella does once you are enrolled is to start you in a class to help navigate your program and get you familiar with the online format. This helped immensely and calmed my nerves for entering into a graduate program online. I feel very well cared for and have not had a negative experience yet! I am 1 year into my program.Jenna Skophammer

Incredible, huge, three-story, free art museum with ongoing exhibits as well as various rotating and traveling special exhibits that have a fee (however, those exhibits usually offer free days as well). I have spent many hours over many days over many years and yet I STILL haven't seen everything even in the ongoing exhibits. You should make a reservation for tickets for special events but usually you can walk-in and still get a ticket, even for those. They have a fun, free Family Day event the second weekend of every month with fun activities and a take-home tote. You can also get a free or paid membership (different levels have different benefits). Definitely donate if you can as well, to help support the museum. There is a gift shop as well as a couple restaurants on site. They offer a free coat check and self-service lockers, which is great for winter when you don't want to lug your coat around. The museum is located on the bus route and there is free on-street and some paid parking lots available. Sometimes they offer free shuttles as well. The museum is accessible with ramps and elevators and offer free wheelchairs for use (which was so helpful when I was there while on crutches). We love the fun, family-friendly Rock the Cradle event they host with the Children's Theatre Company in March and the beautiful Art in Bloom event in the spring. Visited on

It was my first time. I was very impressed. Very very very large building. Three Floors. I was there 3 hours and I didn't even see everything. They have one or two sections where it cost money to get in but those are like for specialty exhibits like Van Gogh and they had some Japanese textiles thing that was like 20 bucks to get in. They have a coffee shop and a gift store on the first floor. All the art was really interesting. I highly recommend reading the plaques, some really funny stuff. I should have taken more photos. I can't wait to go back. In the African art section on the first floor, if you read the plaques it's almost comical they tell stories of how they have no idea where the art came from or who made it and it was donated by some white guy. I think an effort should be made to return some of that stuff, especially stuff within the last century.for example there was several spiritual artifacts that were so sacred they should be returned. They have a really great Mediterranean section as well, one thing was an urn. That should be returned and put in an intentional resting place that isn't to be gawked at by tourists. Visited on

Absolutely insanely amazing… Literally filled with wonders. The Mia is huge and has an INCREDIBLE amount of wonderful art. I was there 3 hours and didn't even get through one floor. I think I spent two hours just in the Asia exhibits and I didn't even see everything in there. Time flies by when there's so much to get immersed in. I think it would take me days to truly appreciate all of the art. If you like to sketch, definitely bring your materials! I had a blast 😀 And Mia is completely free!!! (Although everyone should make a donation to this wonderful place). I would put this at the top of the to-do list when in the Twin Cities. Hopefully I'm back in Minneapolis soon so I can designate a few full days to the Mia:) The facilities were very clean and there is plenty of room to social distance even with a good amount of people visiting (I was there on a Wednesday 11am-2pm). Lovely staff as well and they do have a self-service coat check with lockers. As of 4/27/22, masks are optional although many guests still masking when I was there:) Very accessible by bus too!

We came with a group to learn how to make our own glass paper weights. The class was excellent! Our instructor went above and beyond by explaining things very well, answering all our questions and even making it educational. The best part? They really want you to do as much of it on your own which was really fun. I appreciated that our instructor walked us through the whole entire process first and then was ready to assist us if we needed it. The worst part? The class goes by so fast because you’re having such a good time. Make sure to check out their shop too which is full of handmade items. They also offer a variety of classes for all ages.Lizsandra Edwards

Red was an amazing instructor and i absolutely loved learning from him today. He was patient with me and very clear with his instructions. He is super knowledgeable! He has a great vibe and energy and you can feel his passion for what he does. He truly loves what he is doing and i can see why. This was an amazing experience and i cant wait to go back to do this again or to try another experience from red. This place rocks! Super impressive space, very clean and well organized and great location.Tajya Weidholz

Our family attended "glass discovery" class – essentially an introduction to furnace work. Isaac, our instructor, was knowledgeable and friendly. He made us feel comfortable with the tools and allowed this to truly be an engaging hands on experience. Whether this becomes a regular hobby or a one time experience, I'd definitely recommend it!Lee Nelson

Beautiful gallery, great space, great lighting and layout! Was here for a drawing show where a few of my works were on display. Really great experience on campus!Dave Reed

My daughter attended a summer camp here and loved it. They have a very nice expansive studio showing work by professionals as well as students. Very well organized program. We will be doing again next year!! Summer programs are a little on the pricier side, but definitely well executed. Thank you Jill / NCC team.Sivaram Chinta

The Northern Clay Center is a great place to shop for one of a kind, handmade gifts made be outstanding artists. I try to get here a few times a year, as the storefront stock rotates regularly. The exhibits are always great too, and free to check out!Hanna Henscheid

I love NCC! They have such great staff and the place is very well run. I took 2 classes with Heather and she was wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough whether you’re new to clay or have been doing it for a while.Joey Lusvardi

Do your research on employable fields, obviously, and go from there. The size of the U allows anonymity for those who want it, or intensely personal experiences through volunteering, groups, serving on boards, research opportunities, etc. I did all of those things while doing my undergrad at the U, and went on to happily accept an offer to do grad school there as well. I worked my butt off, but did end up landing an amazing job. I will be paying them appalling amounts of money well into my mid-to-late 40's, but that problem extends far beyond this one school. I have some of my best friends and memories from the U, as well as a great education. Highly recommended.Maureen Laufenberg

I graduated from this University. It is one of the top ranked research institutions in the country. Their pharmacy school is ranked second in the nation and believe me they deserve it. Excellent instructors and facilities. You are treated with respect by your professors. The campus is beautiful and the student body friendly. Minneapolis has a reputation as the biggest small town you'll ever know. Large metropolitan area but the people are friendly and down to earth. I love this place.Cary Miller

If you don't get weeded out in your first two years, you will enjoy the upper level courses. The best years were in junior and senior years where I interacted closely with accomplished faculty and their research. They don't give away degrees at this school. The University demands that you be resourceful and if you are used to being babied you will not survive this school or life, for that matter. I have the U of MN to thank for giving me the career I have.Nino B.

Currently a junior here at UST double majoring in Operations/ Supply Chain Management and Catholic Studies, and I love it here! I have had great support both with choosing my career path and in my development as a person. The faculty here has helped me realize how I can use my God-given gifts to the best of my ability to better the world. I have met fantastic friends who push me everyday to grow in my Catholic faith, and I know for a fact that these are life-long connections. Campus Ministry here is awesome- they put on many retreats, events, and multiple masses on campus each day. The faculty within the Business school and the Catholic Studies department have also been so helpful inside and outside the classroom, and I know it to be the same in other departments as well. At St. Thomas, there is a close-knit community. It is hard to describe, but as a student here you truly feel like you are a part of something bigger than yourself. 5 stars, two thumbs up, 10/10.Benjamin Dymit

I would not recommend ordering books from the bookstore. I placed an order with them almost a month ago, requesting that it be shipped as I am 40 minutes from campus and had received an email that they shipped the books, but with no order number or tracking and they charged my account. I never received my books and I had called three times, each time being told that the books "must be on their way". Classes started and I was panicking because I wasn't able to do the homework for my masters classes. I finally got ahold of another person in the bookstore and they said my books have been sitting there the entire time and were never shipped. Thank you St. Thomas bookstore for making the beginning of my masters program extremely stressful, like going back to school isn't already stressful enough.Elizabeth Walker

I’m a freshman here right now and I love it! St. Thomas is great and has so much to offer. One of my favorite things about St. Thomas is it’s location. We are in a beautiful area of St. Paul and are a seven minute bus ride away from downtown Minneapolis. The Mississippi river is also right down the street and has miles of excellent walking paths and bike paths. I also really love the size of our campus. It’s the perfect, “not too big, not too small” school. I also love the size because of the amazing access it gives you to the faculty. My classes are small and all my professors know my face and name and are always ready to help with anything. The people are great and to top it all off, the campus is insanely beautiful! St. Thomas is an excellent school!Brenna Carberry

I have some very mixed opinions about my time studying at Hamline University. At the core, the business operations of the university, the quality of student services, and the value for money are poor at best. If you think you might need access to disability services beyond the legally mandated minimum offerings, cross this school off your list. If you're hoping to be employable after graduating, and want useful assistance from a career services center, good luck. This private university will nickle and dime you for everything, and provide very little in return. The vast majority of alumni and former students I stay in contact refer to this place as "Scamline University" for a reason. I left with some great memories and connections with other students, faculty, and staff, and am thankful for that. However – major restructuring of the University, including the firing and replacement of all administrative employees, is necessary before I can recommend others waste 4 years of their life and commit to decades of debt for the empty promises offered here.Gunnar Aas

Nice campus… Didn't like the fact they were trying to push a critical race theory book in orientation also pushing the use of pronouns. dorm rooms are very small the one dorm building we took a tour of did not have AC. Also not in the best neighborhood. Seems like they're trying to push a "woke "agenda.. needless to say after the $400 deposit they require and spending about $700 to come down 9 hour drive for my son to sign up and attend the school….they changed our mind and we won't let our son attend. Save your time and go to a state college or techshane service4iygkjkh

I don't actually attend the school myself but I spent quite some time there sometimes multiple times a day. Why you might ask I was a delivery driver for Jimmy John's which is very popular among students there considering location I would imagine so like I said I was there at least two times a shift up to five or six one night. And out of all the times I got stiffed on a tip or from hamline University I know it's not the school's fault but I'm bored Plus getting stiff really grinds my gearsTj K

I am an NHCC alumni who was employed as a work study between February 2011-December 2014 with one department, & after many attempts, eventually hired on with public safety between February 2015-May 2015. I was briefly employed with public safety, because I graduated in May, I was no longer eligible for work study-had I been able to, I’d have stayed with the department as I had wanted to work with NHCC’s public safety for a very long time. Not long after my leave, a colleague of mine (another work study with the department), who was also pursuing law enforcement, applied for a full-time position & got it (despite the listing from what I recall, saying a BA was preferred, which she did not have). A couple of years after graduating, I saw another posting for a full-time position, I applied, & was rejected for lack of experience despite having security experience at other places of employment. October 2021 rolled around & I noticed another listing for a full-time position, the listing would close on October 21st, I applied early October. By now, I’ve had seven years of security experience including having worked with the Department of Homeland Security. I had an opportunity to interview with some familiar faces December 1, 2021. I was asked if I was familiar with the Cleary Act & Good Faith; I believe my answers were more correct to description than most people would have answered. I also believed the interview went very well & I had a chance. Weeks went by & I hadn’t heard anything from HR or public safety. I emailed the Director of the department as well as HR inquiring to follow-up on my application, & still no reply. Mid-December I finally got a blatant rejection letter, only after sending three inquiry emails. I emailed HR genuinely asking kindly why I was not selected & asked for advice on what I could do better in the future if I were to try again. It’s now the end of December & I’ve yet to receive a reply. I reconnected with some old colleagues on campus & found out the department of public safety had already hired two new security officers… Now, if I were completely unqualified for the job (e.g. I’ve only had serving experience or something), I’d understand not getting the job. Even then, I’d expect some kind of communication from NHCC about my rejection. Why not have the professionalism & respect to at least send me a declination email after hiring these two? I was told by my intel, that these two new officers were hired two months prior (as in two months prior to me getting that declination email in December), that declination email I ONLY got because again, I emailed thrice to inquire about the status of my application (the last time being in December). So these two were hired by the end of October (when the posting closed) beginning of November & HR nor the department had any intention of communicating with me. Maybe someone from the University of Minnesota disclosed I’m in the process of filing a sexual misconduct complaint against someone in the department of public safety there, & a complaint against retaliation from the department’s leadership-maybe NHCC supports sexual misconduct too so they didn’t want someone with strong will to sniff it out. I absolutely enjoyed my time as a student & student worker at NHCC. I say this again, if I had a chance to stay with the department of public safety, I would have. Four stars for my time there as a student & student worker at both departments, zero stars for the recent experience. Due to the what I consider blatant disrespect I’ve experienced with the lack of replies/explanations, I will cease to associate myself with NHCC any further. I am absolutely appalled by the lack of professionalism.Surprised Pikachu

A friend of mine attends here & apparently isn't allowed to participate in her clinicals because she's unvaccinated. If someone is taking proper precautions to be safe & be masked appropriately, why should all of their effort & hard work be put to waste? All she wants to do is help people. I feel like this is pretty much saying no one has a right to be educated anymore unless they're vaccinated. & I'm sure your administration will come give me a ridiculous, "We're sorry you feel that way. Please contact [Inserts phone number to an unrelated area that will just give you a run around], but that's not what I'm here for. I'm just here to say that I would NEVER go to school at a place that wants to make my decisions for me. We choose what we pursue in school because that's what sparks our interests & our minds. A school that wants to take that ambition away from their students isn't a school I'd want to go to.Mari Morr

I have a teacher here who misspells everything and all his due dates are outdated from years ago on a not very easy class. Emailed the dean who just stated they would let him know… seriously? Its all over myprofessor the guy is awful they dont care at all though. Had 2 surgerys during class and the teacher never responded to me? A honor roll student and cant join academic programs because the leaders do not respond… what is going on???Jason Bourne

I first off want to say that there were a few incredible instructors in my program, PHMO, who go above and beyond their normal duties to help students succeed. Now that being said I also had an instructor who thought it was funny to say "Don't get shot" when leaving class after an active shooter drill. The same instructor also completely ignored my emails, request for information to be able to an assignment he assigned and would post last minute that we would have in person class and expect everyone to be there with the 15 minute notice he gave. Also most of class he spent setting up what he was going to demo, rather than being ready for students when they got to class, told more personal stories than doing actual teaching and said inappropriate things when critiquing students work including making a comment about a fellow student's brother saying "whoa, look at those ears". So I filed a complaint and the outcome was I had to make adjustments to work around this teacher and nothing happened to him. I have also felt I've been discriminated against because of my diagnoses and retaliated against for filing a complaint. While I adore the few instructors that have been great, if I had the chance to go back in time and go elsewhere, I would. It's incredibly sad to see the lack of sensitivity that I have experienced from the administration here. MCTC has so many student from different background that sensitivity is really a must when it comes to the school environment. It is clear that the care more about the school as a business, rather than the individual students.Melissa Cook

This school is known for having teachers who bully their students and give bad grades for personal reasons. Teacher retaliation…. I have dealt with many rude professors who have tried to to embarrass me when when I asked a question in class like the other students would, but instead i was targeted and picked on which encourage the other students to pick on me. The teachers would constantly try to humiliate me in front of the class. And try to make me feel less important than the other students. I was actually yelled at by a professor in front of the classroom and blamed because my group did not show up for group presentations and I got yelled at while the rest in my group did not get yelled at. This is not the first time I have been a victim of professors taking their emotional baggage and dumping it on me. I am very uncomfortable and had to take several W (withdraw) out of my classes because of how uncomfortable I am just from being in the classroom and being bullied constantly. This is the worst school and worst experience I ever had. This school caused me so much stress and anxiety. The school is constantly full of homeless people and security guards do nothing about it. They pee in the hallways and the building constantly smells like pee. And they have mental health issues and I have been verbally attacked and threatened by them. Everyone that's is staffed at mctc should be fired I haven't met one nice decent person at all worst experience .Seablue Soon

I graduated with an Associates degree years ago, and here’s my take: I enjoyed the diversity of so many students, and the support I got from them. It’s easy to make friends there and it’s easy to find that most have a lot in common with you. That said, for many students it was just a spot. The educational quality was a mixed bag, with the adjunct professors being better teachers than those with tenure. I found the ones with tenure to be indifferent to the student body and uninspired professors. One particular professor was so rude to his students that several of them dropped the class, and he made derogatory comments he should have been reported on. I majored in the human services program, and I definitely believe the educational quality of that program was lackluster. There are other community colleges out there that are much better in educational quality, but they don’t have the same supports that diverse students need to thrive in college. Not the greatest school, but better at meeting the needs of diverse students.PAISLEY PRINCESS

The standout difference of the Carlson MBA program is the emphasis on experiential learning. Through the unique Enterprise program, students complete live projects with real clients for credit. This builds real experience and gives the opportunity to build depth in a given industry or explore various career options in a low-risk environment. The Carlson MBA also has excellent global experience options. These range from short-term 2-week immersive experiences to partial/full semester abroad. As with the Enterprise program, the Carlson Global Institute provides real-world tools to be successful in a global business environment. Unparalleled by its peer MBA programs, Carlson's connection to its local business community is top-notch. By having such strong connections with Minnesota Fortune 500 companies, students gain access to incredible networking, class speaker/projects, and career benefits.Jefri Tamba

Went here for a job fair closing event on MN startup week 2018. The building is gorgeous, main atrium equally so. Event was well hosted attended and the spectrum of local businesses growing and hiring and the level of jobs being sought after made this one of the best job fairs I have ever attended. Very interesting. Back a lifetime ago I was a student here, never in this building, but at the UDavid Thomas-Jensen

I am interested in PhD programs in the Business School. I tried to get an idea of the areas the faculty of the school are engaged in so as to see if I can find the area that I am keen to study in but navigating through the profiles of the faculty doesn’t give me this information, at least not in a away that I could easily access.Munir Ahmed

The triple threat of Loft Lit Center, Open Book, and Milkweed Editions made this building a place of constant quirky events would wouldn't see elsewhere until the last few years where greed has taken over a bit. Readings which used be free have changed to $10-$20 a pop at the Loft. Former wall to wall people Open Book openings now are lucky to get a dozen, thanks to an $8 charge for wine and beer which used to be hosted (highly illegal by the way without an alcohol license), and the downgrading of apps to vegi and dip trays. The halcyon days of MCBA are long over.Michael Brown

Wonderful workshops available from passionate artist professionals. Once you have some experience with the techniques and equipment you can sign up for open ‘lab’ or commit to renting studio time. I attended Marbling 1 workshop with Michelle Blodgett and found it well taught..and the form very addicting!Chelsey S

This place is a book-lover's dream. A gift shop focused on book arts. Literary events. Rental rooms for determined authors. And a cafe with both solid coffee, side items, and beer on tap. The aesthetic is open and creative. I love coming here to write and get my creative energies flowing.M. Ashe Van Steenwyk

My academic advisors helped me navigate my career path and personal endeavors which ultimately led to my successful graduation. Much love. CLA all the way!!Natasha Zajicek

As part of our well rounded curricula, students are encouraged to take courses outside of their major area of study. I was a pharmacy student so chemistry and pharmacology were my main areas of focus. We were therefore steered toward taking art application classes and my two were film and theater. I saw some plays here as part of my theater studies. The building's acoustics were quite good as were their special effects.Cary Miller

Play was at 5:30. My vehicle would not fit in the parking ramp showed up at this location by 5:15 had to park in a lot a block and a half away after trying to figure out parking. made it to the front door at 5:31 exactly and was told that I could not come in for the play because they do not seat after the start.Gary Olsen

Rarig is just one of the venues hosting this year‘s Twin Cities fringe Festival from August 4-14. Actors gather to perform throughout the week and weekend. Rarigs theater is multi purposeful and has both stairs and elevators. Lots of space for actors to do their thang😉Trin Carl

(Translated by Google) I have known the existence of MIT through a friend from Oviedo (Spain). He told me that you do sociological studies. It is true? Do you have a School of Sociology? I would like to inform me about this extreme. Thank you very much, Jorge Bayarte García, Barcelona-Spain // 06.28.2014 (Original) He conocido la existencia del MIT a través de un amigo de Oviedo (Spain). Me ha dicho que Vds. hacen estudios sociológicos. Es cierto? Tienen Vds. Escuela de Sociología?. Me gustaría me informasen, sobre este extremo.

When it comes to the research environment, the work ethic is very professional. Plenty of training and compliance keeps everyone well informed of how to conduct research properly and relay complex information to the community. It can be lots of fun when designing and building new technology or even accessing the latest technological tools. Note: don't be discouraged by experimentation, failure is just part of the process. Best of luck everyone.Onri Jay Benally

Poor education this year. I voiced my concerns this past semester that instructors were SIMPLY not providing lectures. The department didn’t care and the instructor simply told us to teach yourself the material. You can tell this business is profit driven, and not for actual education.Beau Carlson
