About

Hamline University ( HAM-lin) is a private university in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. Founded in 1854, Hamline is the oldest university in Minnesota, and is one of five Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities. While the University of Minnesota had its charter a month before Hamline, Hamline University held classes first and is recognized as the oldest because of this. The university is named after Bishop Leonidas Lent Hamline of the United Methodist Church. As of 2017, Hamline had 2,117 undergraduate students and 1,668 graduate students.
In 2022, the university attracted widespread criticism after firing an adjunct professor for showing paintings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in a class on the history of Islamic art.
