School Description
Provided by Minot State UniversityMinot State University was founded in 1913 to serve the citizens of northwest North Dakota. It is located in Minot, a city with approximately 36,000 residents. The city is served by Northwest Airlines and Amtrak. Abundant outdoor activities are available, including hiking, boating, fishing and camping in the nearby Garrison Dam/Missouri River area, and the Turtle Mountain Region. The arts include two theatre companies, three art galleries, choral and instrumental groups, a full-scale symphony orchestra, and an opera company. A major U.S. Air Force Base is located in the greater Minot area. Minot State primarily serves North Dakota, Montana, and several contiguous Canadian provinces. Several Native American communities are located in our region and are represented in our students and faculty.
Minot State University is a regional, public institution located in the northwest region of North Dakota, serving students from Minot, the region, state, nation, and other countries.

Non-credit and professional training and experiences are offered to students and community members.
Minot State University is first and foremost dedicated to the success of all students: their growth and development as educated citizens, their confidence, and their life-long devotion to the common good and the welfare of others.
We are a lively intellectual and cultural campus as well. Our faculty and our students seize opportunities to share their talents in the arts and humanities, not only with our campus but throughout the area. Minot State University houses three theaters, two art galleries, and a state-of-the art performance hall. We often host renowned artists, musicians, thinkers, poets, and writers and welcome community and alumni participation at events sponsored by the university.
Our campus is also home to the most current technology, including state-of-the-art computer labs, wireless capabilities, online courses, instructional technology supplementing existing courses, and an Instructional Technology Center (ITC) that provides prompt and friendly support to our students, faculty, and staff.
Student clubs, organizations, and activities also provide vitality. Minot State has over 40 student clubs and organizations representing drama, intramural sports, music, and student government, to name a few. The Student Activities Committee keeps things hopping with regularly scheduled events such as movies, dances, hypnotists, comedians, and concerts.
