A remarkable, bankable education.

“You really can go anywhere with a Morris liberal arts education. I have advanced in my career because of how I learned to think at Morris. The ‘Morris’ name opens doors, too. People know it as the place for students who are serious about learning.”

Jeff Ulrich ’95 physics and computer science

A Morris liberal arts experience is something you can build on for life.

Whether you go on to a graduate program, professional school, or

the job market, you’ll be seen as well-rounded and ready-to-go.

That’s more than a good value: it’s an education that’s renewable

and sustainable. What’s more, Morris is listed as a “Best College”

by U.S. News and World Report and Forbes. And it’s why Morris

is a destination for students who are ready to think, create, and act.

Tuition and costs If you’re looking for a comprehensive breakdown of your cost per year,

the table below will help. Because of the Morris tuition structure, when

students take more than 13 credits in a semester, all of the additional

credits are free. And since many Morris students take an average of

15 credits per semester in order to graduate in four years, that means

two free credits a semester. Who doesn’t love that?Committed to making a high-quality liberal arts education available to students around the globe,

the University of Minnesota, Morris charges residents and non-residents the same tuition. This

tuition policy saves non-Minnesota residents $9,500 per year.

2010–2011 Academic Year

Tuition:* $9,482

Fees: $2,050

Housing: $3,290

Meal Plan: $3,760

Total:* $18,582 per year

“For a lot of students, choosing a school comes down to financial aid. We know we have to invest in a college education, but no one wants to be in a financial hole after graduation. At Morris, the price was right—and I’m getting an amazing education. It’s probably the best deal I’ll ever make.”

Helping with the cost of educationThe Morris Financial Aid Office staff will walk you through the

process, point out relevant grants and scholarships, talk to you

about student employment programs, and answer questions

about loans and other opportunities.

“Take the initiative to research sources outside of Morris, too. Apply for independent scholarships and grants—don’t underestimate your ability to qualify. I became the first Morris student to be selected as a Udall Scholar and now I receive $5,000 a year to help pay for college.”

“I received a scholarship so I didn’t have to take out loans—which really opened up the possibilities for grad school. I could also make plans for study abroad or an internship in D.C. instead of worrying about a summer job. My scholarship gave me financial breathing room.”
