The Twin Cities
Where the cities that surround us transform what’s within us
The Twin Cities are an endless source of intellectual inspiration for Macalester. As part of the curriculum, more than 60 courses across 17 departments partner with organizations from nonprofits to government agencies to theaters and museums to local Fortune 500 companies.
An education that extends beyond campus
Students of the world
Our mission focuses on creating a culture of diversity and justice in an interconnected world. We explore cultural narratives and beliefs, build an inclusive community, and create spaces where everyone can grow. Coursework connects ideas across cultures and continents, preparing students to articulate ideas on a global scale.
Community of collaborators
With a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, Macalester professors and students dig into real-world issues to create dialogues that stem from curiosity and lead to deeper understanding.
Agents of change
Students bring a passion for effecting change and Macalester nurtures that passion. Because even small acts of advocacy can create big opportunities for creating positive change.
