The Twin Cities Campus, established in 1984, is located at 2500 Park Avenue in Minneapolis. The campus administers a bachelor’s degree completion program with 10 majors, 20 graduate certificate programs, 24 master’s degree programs, one specialist degree program, three doctoral degree programs. Classes are held primarily on evenings and weekends, and flexible class scheduling allows students to attend school full- or part-time.

Administrative offices include those of university administration, program staff, admission, the campus registrar, student services, and staff.
The 2500 and 2450 Park Avenue buildings of the campus are named for Roman Catholic saints who represent Saint Mary’s University. The original facility at 2500 Park is named La Salle Hall after Saint John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the De La Salle Christian Brothers and the patron saint of teachers. The 2450 Park building is named Martin de Porres Hall after the Dominican Brother who is known as the patron saint of interracial harmony. Mother Teresa Hall at 2440 Park is named after Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, now known to the world as Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa founded hundreds of clinics, schools, orphanages, homeless shelters and other projects around the world and is a 1979 Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The 2304 building, named Park Avenue North, was purchased by the university in the fall of 2006 from the Memorial Blood Center. The university renovated the building to accommodate the growing need for space. In 2014, it was renamed Brother Louis Hall in honor of Brother Louis De Thomasis, FSC, President Emeritus of Saint Mary University.
Saint Mary’s latest expansion is the Saint Mary’s University Center, which includes the historic mansion, carriage house, modern events center, and 100 parking spaces, encompassing 1.66 acres at 2540 Park Avenue. The mansion and carriage house consist of 30,000 square feet, and the event center has 54,000 square feet. The purchase significantly increases the size of Saint Mary’s campus footprint on Park Avenue.
