Each program at UMN Crookston is very hands on and allows you to gain experience for your future career goals. We even give all on campus students a laptop, whether you are doing extensive research labs, working in the barn with the animals, shadowing an elementary classroom, or presenting in the business boardroom. We can promise your hands may get dirty, but your professors will be in the thick and thin of it with you. We call that, hands on learning, and we're kind of good at it.
