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 521-acre campus, the state’s largest. We've emerged as a leader in engineering, medicine, aviation, and unmanned aircraft systems.

UND continues to build on its record of developing future leaders. We have earned well-deserved national recognition for our academic programs. We also serve the largest number of exclusively online students among all nonprofit, flagship universities in the eight-state region.
