Based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and hosted in the University of Minnesota, the Carlson School is a leader in business education and research. The school’s approach connects students to unique experiential learning opportunities, dynamic international education programs, and a vibrant network of businesses throughout the state and beyond.

Founded in 1919, the School is housed in two state of the art buildings, a stone’s throw from downtown Minneapolis. The School’s over 100 faculty are ranked #3 among U.S. public university business faculty for intellectual contributions. The School also draws from the strength of the University of Minnesota, a Big 10 R1 university, through collaborative research and dual degree programs across disciplines, as well as the strength of the global business community in Minnesota, which includes 16 Fortune 500 firms and some of the largest private corporations in the world.
