The University of Minnesota Morris is featured in the 2025 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges by Edward B. Fiske.
Fiske is the best-selling college guide on the market and the one that high school counselors recommend most often to students and parents. The resource book covers 330 of the “best and most interesting colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and UK.”
Here’s how the guide introduces its profile of UMN Morris:
The plains of western Minnesota may seem an unlikely place to find a liberal arts college–and a public one at that. UMN Morris is cut from the same cloth as Mary Washington, UNC Asheville, and St. Mary's College of Maryland. The draw: private college education at a public university price. Strong emphasis on sustainability.
The Fiske Guide to Colleges assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each institution included in the resource book in terms of academics, social life and overall quality of life. Schools were chosen based on their selectivity.
This is the 14th year UMN Morris has made the college guide’s cut.
