North Dakota State University

NDSU is clearly an institution of choice. Having experienced a remarkable period of growth and with the development of expanded academic opportunities, NDSU is a national model of the contemporary land-grant institution. A university with more than 14,000 students in its undergraduate and graduate programs, NDSU’s research expenditures surpass $100 million annually. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies NDSU among ‘Research Universities (very high research activity)’ in its new ‘basic’ classifications of United States colleges and universities. NDSU is in the same Carnegie category as institutions such as Iowa State University and the Universities of Nebraska-Lincoln, Kentucky, Tennessee, Connecticut, and Oregon. An institution committed to progress, NDSU continues to advance in all areas because of the energy and dedication of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends.

With energy and momentum, North Dakota State University addresses the needs and aspirations of people in a changing world by building on our land-grant foundation.
