Published Wednesday, February 08, 2023
U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Southwest Minnesota State University among the top 15 in the nation for low tuition and fees for students from out of state. SMSU was one of only three universities from the Midwest on the list and the only one from Minnesota.
The cost of tuition and fees is one of the biggest barriers for many students considering higher education. SMSU offers affordable tuition to in-state students and extends that low tuition rate to those from out of state, as well.
Students looking for a low-cost education outside their home state find that Southwest Minnesota State University is an extremely affordable option. In-state tuition applies to most students, with only a few exceptions based on reciprocity agreements with neighboring states.
“We are proud of the fact that we are among the top 15 most affordable colleges for out-of-state tuition,” said SMSU President Kumara Jayasuriya. “When you combine our affordability with our excellent education and exceptional on-campus experience, I would argue that our value is second-to-none.”
