The faces of first-year students are changing, and Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota strives to be a place for all of them to grow and find their path. We serve traditional on-campus students seeking a residential experience, and also support adults returning to finish their degree — many of whom balance work, family responsibilities, or other commitments. And increasingly, we’re seeing younger students, who have earned a large number of college credits in high school or prefer to live at home, choosing to stay local and work while pursuing their degree.
Saint Mary’s is expanding on its commitment to meet students where they are with a new opportunity: the 90-credit online bachelor’s degree. This new pathway offers one more option that may be a faster, more flexible, and cost-efficient route for some students to complete their undergraduate degree.
Join Holly Tapper, dean of the School of Advancing Studies, to learn more about these new 90-credit online programs and how they could be an effective option for students to start or finish their bachelor’s degree.
