Sure, both Minneapolis and St. Paul host a number of reputable universities. The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities is perhaps the most notable one. It's a large, public research university well-known for strong programs in areas like engineering, biology, business, and psychology.

Just outside downtown Minneapolis, there's Augsburg University, a smaller, private liberal arts school known for its emphasis on service learning and community engagement. They have robust programs in numerous fields like Nursing, Business, and Social Work.

In St. Paul you'll find the University of St. Thomas. It's a private, Catholic university that's the largest private university in Minnesota, and they have strong offerings in Business and Education particularly.

Concordia University, also located in St. Paul, is another private liberal arts university known especially for great programs in Education and Behavioral Sciences.

There's also Macalester College, a renowned liberal arts college in St. Paul known for its diversity, commitment to internationalism, and strong academics across the board, from humanities to natural sciences.
