(Minneapolis, MN) — A new report shows less than half of Minnesota’s public colleges meet affordability standards, with only 48-percent of two-year schools and 25-percent of four-year universities considered affordable. The University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus has one of the widest cost gaps, while UMN Morris ranks among the most affordable. Families say rising tuition and growing campus expectations are making college decisions increasingly difficult. Minnesota placed 26th nationally for affordability, ahead of neighboring Midwest states that ranked much lower.
