St. Cloud State is one of Minnesota's largest public universities, with more than 14,600 students from about 80 nations. It is located an hour northwest of Minneapolis, along the oak-crowned west bank of the Mississippi River. The 100-acre campus is between downtown St. Cloud and the Beaver Islands, a group of more than 30 islands that form a natural maze for a two-mile stretch of the river. Undergraduate students choose from more than 200 majors, minors and pre-professional programs, including regional rarities such as meteorology and geographic information systems. The School of Graduate Studies offers more than 50 programs, including an Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration and a master of business administration from the G.R. Herberger School of Business. The master's degree in regulatory affairs and services taps a growing demand for professionals who can lead medical device companies through national and international regulatory processes. Minnesota has more than 480 FDA-approved medical device manufacturers. Husky Athletics is home to NCAA Division I and II teams with rich traditions of success.
