More than 67,000 students come seeking higher education in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. A major land grant university system, the University of Minnesota (U of M) offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in approximately 370 academic fields. It employs some 4,100 faculty members across five campuses located around the state. The university's Twin Cities campus, with about 50,000 students in attendance, ranks among the largest in the country in terms of enrollment.

Originally founded in 1851 as a prep school, the university became a land grant institution in 1867 after receiving federal funding related to the Morrill Act of 1862.
