Wrestling colleges in Minnesota (7)

Minnesota splits cleanly by division and by ownership. The 4 Division II programs all wrestle in the NSIC and are all public: Minnesota State in Mankato, St. Cloud State, MSU Moorhead on the North Dakota line and Southwest Minnesota State in Marshall. The 3 Division III programs all wrestle in the MIAC and are all private: Augsburg in Minneapolis, Saint John's (MN) in Collegeville and Concordia-Moorhead, which shares Moorhead with MSU Moorhead.

Size varies more than in most states. Minnesota State enrolls about 11,700 undergraduates and St. Cloud State about 5,100, while Saint John's is under 1,400. Cost tracks the public/private split: federal average net price runs from $13,529 at St. Cloud State to $25,672 at Saint John's, with the four NSIC schools all under $19,200. Admission rates range from about 59% at MSU Moorhead to 95% at St. Cloud State, so none of these is a reach school on admissions alone.

Minnesota State, Southwest Minnesota State and Augsburg publish wrestling recruiting forms — the fastest first contact — while MSU Moorhead, Concordia-Moorhead and Saint John's use a general athletics form and St. Cloud State has none we could find. Augsburg is the only listed program that also fields women's wrestling. Recent conference finishes and NCAA qualifier counts are not published in our data for these seven, so ask each staff about depth at your weight (how to read a roster shows what to look for), and read D2 wrestling scholarships explained before comparing NSIC offers with MIAC aid packages on /compare.
