Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 MN 4-year peers in this comparison, University of St Thomas is larger than 92% and safer-reporting than 25% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of St Thomas rose from 19 to 26 (+37%). The increase shows up in Burglary (3 to 11), Fondling (0 to 3) and Arson (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Rape (6 to 3) and Motor Vehicle Theft (6 to 4).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at University of St Thomas
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Arson and Robbery.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where University of St Thomas sits on price and outcomes
At $29,155, University of St Thomas's reported average net price is cheaper than 94% among 80 Minnesota colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,863.

- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $28,131 and those above $110,000 report $33,232, a difference of just $5,101. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Six-year median earnings of $62,412 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
