NDSU is part of the North Dakota University System. The university also operates North Dakota's agricultural research extension centers distributed across the state on 18,488 acres (74.82 km2). In 2015, NDSU's economic impact on the state and region was estimated to be $1.3 billion a year according to the NDUS Systemwide Economic Study by the School of Economics at North Dakota State University.[6][7] As of 2022, it was also the sixth-largest employer in the state of North Dakota.[8]

History edit

19th century edit

The bill founding North Dakota Agricultural College (NDAC) was signed on March 8, 1890, one year after North Dakota became a state and seven years after initial plans to start an agricultural college in the northern portion of the Dakota Territory.[9] NDAC was established as North Dakota's land-grant institution.[10]

On October 15, 1890, Horace E. Stockbridge became the first NDAC president and the board of trustees was formed.[11] Classes were initially held in six classrooms rented from Fargo College. The first class of students were admitted on September 8, 1891. College Hall (Old Main) was completed in 1892 and was the first building on campus.[11]

20th century edit

In 1908, the school's alma mater "The Yellow and The Green" was written and a year later the school's official colors, Yellow and Green, were selected.[9] In 2015 a change was made where only the first verse of the alma mater is recognized by the university, due to ethnic references in the third stanza.[12]

NDAC continued to grow and was renamed North Dakota State University on November 8, 1960, after a statewide referendum.[13] The name change was to reflect the increasing field of study breadth of the institution.[9]

A 36-acre (15 ha) area including twelve historic buildings was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as North Dakota State University District in 1986.[14]

21st century edit

Around the start of the 21st century, NDSU began a phase of growth.

NDSU surpassed 10,000 students in the fall of 2000 for the first time, and by the fall semester of 2009, it increased enrollment by another 10% to 14,189 students.[15] Enrollment in 2018 stood at 13,650.[16]

Research, athletic programs, and campus facilities benefited from increases in student enrollment. Between 2000 and 2007, NDSU added a number of undergraduate programs and thirty-one graduate programs. Several buildings have been built or expanded and remodeled over the past seven years, including the Wallman Wellness Center, Memorial Union, and the College of Business.

In 2004, all athletic programs moved to Division I.[17]

In 2023, President Dean Cook outlined plans to merge two out of the seven colleges into five in an attempt to save $7.6 million. This also resulted in some majors being eliminated, caused by high program costs and lower enrollment. There are plans to create new majors to meet workforce needs for the future.[18]

Campuses edit

 
Gates to North Dakota State University

North Dakota State University is primarily located in Fargo, North Dakota. NDSU consists of several campuses including: the main campus, NDSU downtown, and several agricultural research extension centers.

Main campus edit

The main campus sits on 258 acres (1.04 km2) of land and consists of over one hundred buildings. The appearance of the main campus is maintained by the university's extensive agricultural programs. The main campus boundaries are 19th Avenue N. to the north, University Drive to the east, 18th St. N. to the west, and 12th Avenue N. to the south.[19]

Located in the historic Minard–South Engineering quad is the Babbling Brook. The Babbling Brook is a large water feature that offers students a serene location to relax and study. Enhancing the area are trickling waterfalls, various fish and flowers, an amphitheater seating area, and "buffalo-rubbed" rocks. This area offers a space for outdoor classes and small performances.

NDSU operates several buildings in downtown Fargo, ND. Approximately four thousand students, faculty, and staff use these NDSU Downtown facilities each year.

The project started in 2004 with the purchase and renovation of the former Northern School Supply building, located at NP Avenue and 8th Street North in the city's downtown. The structure, now known as Renaissance Hall, houses NDSU's visual arts department, architecture department, and the office of Tri-College University, a partnership between NDSU, Concordia College, and Minnesota State University Moorhead.[33]

In 2006, the NDSU Development Foundation purchased the Pioneer Mutual Life Insurance building and Lincoln Mutual Life & Casualty Insurance building along 2nd Avenue North between 8th and 10th Streets, also in downtown Fargo. The refurbished Pioneer building is now Richard H. Barry Hall. It is home to the NDSU College of Business and Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics. According to the college, the downtown location and addition of the North Dakota Trade Office have increased interaction with local businesses and allowed the college to expand its offerings, such as a Certificate in Entrepreneurship in partnership with the University of North Dakota, and add three new centers: The Center for Professional Selling and Sales Technology, Fraud Education and Research Institute and the Center for Leadership Practice.[34]

North Dakota State's intercollegiate sports teams participate in NCAA Division I in all sports (Division I Championship Subdivision in football). NDSU was a charter member of the Division II North Central Conference (NCC), and made the move to Division I sports in the fall of 2004. NDSU spent the next two years as an independent in Division I in all sports other than football, in which it was a member of the Great West Football Conference. The school was accepted into the Summit League on August 31, 2006, and began play in that conference on July 1, 2007.

No other football team in the modern history of the NCAA has accomplished this feat. In the 2016 season, NDSU was defeated by James Madison, 27–17, who eventually went on to win the championship. This ended the Bisons' reign of five consecutive championships.[50] The following season the Bison went on to win the FCS National Championship again for the sixth time in seven years, by beating James Madison, 17–13. In 2018, the Bison completed an undefeated season going 15–0 and defeating the Eastern Washington Eagles, 38–24, and winning their 7th FCS championship in 8 years. After defeating James Madison in 2019 for a third straight title, the Bison lost in the 2020-21 FCS quarterfinals in the COVID-impacted spring season to eventual champion Sam Houston State before reclaiming the title in 2021 with a decisive 38–10 victory over Montana State.[51] North Dakota State University has the most NCAA FCS football championships, as of 2021.[52]

On September 17, 2016, the Bison upset the No. 13 Iowa Hawkeyes, 23–21.[53] It was the Bison's sixth-straight win against a team in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.[53]

Basketball edit

(Gonzaga went on to the Elite Eight, before losing to Duke, the eventual Tournament Champion.) The Bison last played in the NCAA Tournament in 2019, winning a First Four game against North Carolina Central by a 78–74 score. This advanced the Bison to the opening round bracket where they took on #1 seed Duke, eventually falling 85–62. The 2020 men's team went 25-8 during the season, won the Summit League tournament title, defeating in-state rival North Dakota in the championship game but were not able to compete in the NCAA Tournament, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
