The University of St Thomas, Minnesota's largest private university, occupies two main campuses located in St. Paul and Minneapolis, with its primary location set along Summit Avenue in St. Paul's historic district. Founded in 1885 as a Catholic liberal arts institution, the university features a mix of collegiate Gothic and modern architecture across its urban campus. The institution offers comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs through nine schools and colleges, with particular strengths in business, engineering, and entrepreneurship. The St. Paul campus provides traditional undergraduate housing in both historic and contemporary residence halls, while the Minneapolis campus houses the law school and graduate business programs. As a Division I athletic program, St. Thomas competes in the Summit League and Pioneer Football League, making it the first institution to transition directly from Division III to Division I.
