This catalog is a “snapshot,” one moment in the life of a vibrant, comprehensive university. This publication contains information about UND’s structure, curriculum, academic requirements, policies and procedures, and a wealth of other topics, including the names and credentials of our faculty members. This catalog is the indispensable guidebook for all who have chosen to develop their minds and lives at North Dakota’s flagship university. Don’t be misled by the heft and detail of the publication you are reading. Although universities are among the most enduring of society’s institutions, they are alive, dynamic and changing continuously. This is true of every one of the 92 undergraduate and 65 graduate and professional programs offered at UND. Here, you will grow in a challenging and exciting environment of excellence in scholarship and discovery. The University of North Dakota is committed to preparing its graduates for a lifetime of change. Our students gain not only the specialized knowledge of a particular discipline but also the exposure to the liberal arts and sciences and the general body of knowledge that will prepare them for critical and creative thinking throughout their lives. We welcome you as a full partner to the UND community — or “family,” as it is often described by those who know it best — as we anticipate the challenges of the 21st Century. Sincerely, Kendall L.
