University of North Dakota

[EduCativ]

The University of North Dakota has always been ahead of its time. Founded in 1883, six years before the state itself was established, UND gave North Dakota its name when the former Dakota territories separated into two distinct states. Today, UND is a busy 550-acre campus, the state's largest. We've emerged as an innovator in energy, medicine, aviation, and unmanned aircraft systems.

Our mission is to provide transformative learning, discovery, and community engagement opportunities for developing tomorrow's leaders.

The Office of the President works with the campus community to shape the University of North Dakota's strategic direction. The Office of the Provost works closely with deans, department heads, student services professionals, faculty, and staff to provide quality educational programs and instructional services to campus.

In support of the One UND Strategic Plan and the Research Grand Challenges, the mission of the Division of Research & Economic Development is to serve the broad research community of the University of North Dakota. This community is instrumental in meeting the strategic aims of the University.

The aim is to expand and strengthen the University's commitment to research, scholarship, and creative activity as a means of sustaining and extending the knowledge base, enriching the teaching and learning environment, and enhancing economic development in the community, region, state, nation, and across the world.

UND's Division of Student Affairs & Diversity advocates for students and creates a positive environment for all students. It manages housing, dining, wellness, and cultural programs.

The Division of Research & Economic Development supports UND's distinction of being a Carnegie Doctoral Research Institution with an international reputation for research and scholarship.

The safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors are our foremost concern. You have a right to feel safe at the University of North Dakota.

We work diligently to reduce the crime's risk and potential but recognize we cannot do it alone. Safety and security is a shared responsibility, and we need your help. The best protection against campus crime are:

• A strong law enforcement presence.
• An aware, informed, alert campus community.
• A commitment to reporting suspicious activities and using common sense when carrying out daily activities.

We're fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and positioned with Stanford, Harvard, and MIT among the Top 25 Most Innovative Schools.

Earning a degree from a nationally accredited university like UND speaks to the quality of your education. It can also mean that credits taken are transferable to other accredited institutions.

Financial aid is a broad term representing any financial assistance you receive to help pay for your education. There are several types of financial aid. You'll need to repay some types, while others are gifts that don't require you to pay them back. The most common types of financial aid are scholarships, grants, loans, and employment.

Settle into one of our residence halls or apartments. You'll be steps away from classes and right in the middle of a buzzing campus.

Students are eating together in the dining hall. Who needs to cook when you're steps away from wood-fired pizza, just-like-mom's tater tot hot dish, and the world's best monster cookies? We frequently rank as one of the healthiest and fittest schools in the nation. MSN's Fitbie.com gave us an A+ for health.

Please search our database of 260+ student clubs and organizations. If you cannot find what interests you – start your club. Working on campus adds a new dimension to college.
