by our College Data Analytics TeamWhen it comes to choosing a college, student athletes have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. College Factual has developed its Best Colleges for Men's Soccer in Minnesota ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
Our analysis looked at 17 schools in Minnesota to determine which ones were the best for Men's Soccer athletes in Minnesota. To come up with this ranking, we look at a number of factors that are all objective measurements. These factors include the school's overall quality as determined by our Best Colleges ranking and the athletic competitiveness of the school. Thus, in order to rank well, the school must offer a quality education in addition to having a great sports team.
