Facilities
Located in the heart of Minneapolis, just minutes from downtown, our Twin Cities campus is a great place to learn and explore. With all the benefits of living in a big city (including major sports teams, world-class theater, and outstanding public transportation, to name a few), our supportive and inclusive community still manages to make this campus feel like a small town.
Collaboration is key in the work that we do. Our major research partners come from within the Academic Health Center and University, while others can be found throughout Minnesota and the globe.
