Far more fiscally responsible choice, and that's what ND is all about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I'm jealous of a couple of things about NDSU. Students on campus. Helps with sports attendance. And they get more area kids vs national/international. That helps with alumni in the area that stay connected to the school. Areas of improvement for UND. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

61hawk Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Late to the party but the discussion of declining enrollment is the current hot topic at every college and university in the country. The only schools l that aren't pushing the panic button are some of the more prestigious private universities. 10 year forecasts aren't good, look at the number of 3rd graders in grade schools (college freshmen in 10 years) compared to what they were a decade ago or two decades ago. K through 2nd grade numbers are even lower. Throw in AP courses in high school, the cost of obtaining an undergraduate degree, and the increase in employers who now are not requiring a college degree for many positions and you have the perfect storm for declining enrollment in higher education. Some larger universities are projecting up to a 25% decline in enrollment in the next 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see UND's enrollment hovering around 10,000 students in 2033. Enrollment was around 13,000 if I remember correctly back in the mid-1980's when I attended. 40 years later it's just above 14,000. I really believe we'll start seeing smaller schools in ND closing their doors if they can't draw students away from UND, NDSU and Minot and UND, NDSU and Minot cutting majors that are not profitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these college require a vote of the people as they were established in the constitution. Been tried before and not successful yet. In 1889 probably an OK idea. Today not so much.

GeauxSioux Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Once upon a time there was UND-Williston and UND-Lake Region. Perhaps they should go back to that. I also remember that Bottineau was associated with NDSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley City, Mayville, Minot, and Dickinson are in the constitution as "normal schools" and normal schools were defined as teacher colleges. Teaching requires a 4-year degree, so at least by my interpretation they constitutionally must remain providers of baccalaureate teaching degrees. Now, they have certainly expanded well beyond that mission, resulting in significant duplication across the university system. That can and should be addressed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Reading here, Minot State began as a 2-year teaching college and evolved into a 4 year university with a graduate school. Quote MSU was established in 1913 as Minot Normal School, a two-year normal school devoted to preparing teachers for service in northwestern North Dakota. In 1924, the Normal School at Minot began issuing baccalaureate degrees, which necessitated a name change to Minot State Teacher's College. Over time the range of academic offerings expanded. The school's name was shortened to Minot State College in 1964 and it became a university sometime in the eighties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
