Federally recognized as a Minority Serving Institution, its employees serve more than 8,000 post-traditional learners, the majority of whom identify as belonging to communities of color or American Indian nations, are first in their family to attend college, and/or are eligible for Pell Grants. Since we do not operate residential facilities, Metro State University students all commute to class locations across the Minneapolis-St.

The university strategic plan, “Transforming Lives:
Advancing Inclusive Excellence and Social Mobility” provides a framework for achieving our mission by focusing on student success, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism, institutional effectiveness, and community engagement.
