President's Message

Welcome to the University of North Dakota!

This catalog is really a roadmap; it describes more than 150 possible pathwaysto a bright future. Because of the need to compress a lot of information in asmall space, most of the catalog describes degree programs, courses, and thenames of faculty and their qualifications. The narrative doesn’t begin to conveythe dynamic nature of the learning environment at the University of NorthDakota and the rich opportunities students have to work with highly qualifiedfaculty in the active pursuit of learning.

This volume also outlines the basic framework of university policies andprocedures and the structure of the curriculum. The catalog begins with generalinformation about the student body — the kinds of students with whom you willlearn and grow; to give you some important context, it goes on to describe themission, scope, and history of one of America’s great universities. This catalogalso contains important information about a host of special services designed toensure student success in learning.

Be assured that the University of North Dakota is organized first and foremostto prepare its graduates for a lifetime of success, regardless of how theworld changes — for it surely will. Welcome to the learning community of theUniversity of North Dakota, and to the next important stage in your personaldevelopment as a life-long learner.

Brief History of UNDThe University of North Dakota at Grand Forks was founded in 1883 bythe Dakota Territorial Assembly, six years before North Dakota became astate. The cornerstone for the first building was laid that autumn. Four facultymembers met the 11 students who entered the University on opening day,September 8, 1884. The first class was graduated in 1889. Unlike most stateinstitutions of higher education west of the Mississippi, UND did not beginas an agricultural school or only as a teachers college. Organized initiallyas a College of Arts and Sciences, with a Normal School for the educationof teachers, UND soon evolved into a full-fledged multi-purpose university.Instruction of graduate students (the first master’s degree was awarded in1895) and the conducting of research were under way before the end of the19th century. The University has withstood multiple challenges to prosper as aninstitution of national caliber.

The University today would be recognizable to its founders. UND was theonly institution of higher education in the state to be originally establishedas a university, with all of the implications of that title. A university has anobligation to preserve knowledge, to disseminate knowledge, and to createnew knowledge. The University of North Dakota has served as a capstone forthe entire system of public education in the state, and from its earliest yearhas embraced all levels of higher education—undergraduate, professional andgraduate—and maintained an active program of research and service. TheUniversity has created a tradition in instruction, research, and service whichhas served as a model for other institutions. Consistent with the intent of thefounding legislators, the University serves as a standard-bearer and leader forhigher education in the state.

Mission of the UniversityThe following mission statement is on file with the State Board of HigherEducation:

The University of North Dakota, as a member of the North Dakota UniversitySystem, serves the state, the country and the world community throughteaching, research, creative activities, and service. State-assisted, theUniversity’s work depends also on federal, private, and corporate sources. Withother research universities, the University shares a distinctive responsibilityfor the discovery, development, preservation and dissemination of knowledge.Through its sponsorship and encouragement of basic and applied research,scholarship, and creative endeavor, the University contributes to the publicwell-being.

The University maintains its legislatively enacted missions in liberal arts,business, education, law, medicine, engineering and mines; and has alsodeveloped special missions in nursing, fine arts, aerospace, energy, humanresources and international studies. It provides a wide range of challengingacademic programs for undergraduate, professional, and graduate studentsthrough the doctoral level. The University encourages students to makeinformed choices, to communicate effectively, to be intellectually curious andcreative, to commit themselves to lifelong learning and the service of others,and to share responsibility both for their own communities and for the world.The University promotes cultural diversity among its students, staff, and faculty.
