In the Twin Cities, connected to business

In the Twin Cities, you are part of one of the most active business ecosystems in the country. Fortune 500 companies, startups, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs operate side by side. That means more access to projects, internships, and full-time roles across industries.

You are not stepping into this network after graduation. You are part of it from day one.
