Hamline University Description:
Hamline University provides undergraduates with some of the advantages of a large comprehensive university in a setting that is more like a liberal arts college. Indeed, few universities of Hamline's size have a law school, a situation that provides undergraduates in legal studies with unique opportunities. The college is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Hamline has a 14 to 1 student / faculty ratio, and the school's strengths in the liberal arts and sciences earned it a chapter of the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
