If you envision undergraduate students at Minnesota colleges as made up entirely of fresh-faced 18- to 22-year-olds, you’d be wrong. A growing number of students at four-year colleges are now aged 25 or older.

Whether students delay college to work, volunteer, have a family, join the military or for some other reason — the mix of students is changing on some Minnesota campuses.

At the University of Minnesota, 10% of undergraduates are in the older cohort, as are 20% at MnSCU four-year schools. Although MnSCU two-year schools and for-profit institutions still lead in age 25+ enrollment, some campuses that previously enrolled mostly traditional students are attracting more older students.
