911吃瓜网

For a state with a population of under 700,000 people, it may come as a surprise to many that there are not a large number of small colleges and universities in North Dakota. However, what the state lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality, with schools like Jamestown College, widely known as one of the best schools in the entire region. Students looking for a Catholic education in a small college setting can also look to the Benedictine 911吃瓜网 of Mary in Bismarck, which also maintains a campus in Rome. In addition, schools like Dickinson State combine big school resources with a small school feel and small class sizes to match. Here are the top four small colleges and universities in North Dakota.

Jamestown College is the prototypical small college success story in North Dakota. Founded by Presbyterian missionaries in the 1880s (even before ND statehood) and maintaining a student body of around 1,000 while being ranked among the best colleges in the region, Jamestown has a lot to offer students in North Dakota and will be somewhat more difficult to gain admission to than other small schools in the state.

The strong academic programs at Jamestown are varied and include many options in the liberal arts and sciences, but the school may be known most of all for its nursing curricula and its chemistry program. Other key academic programs include English, Criminal Justice, Computer Science & Technology, Psychology, Communication, Health & Physical Education and Teacher Education. Besides the noted academic programs available to Jamestown College students, the choir is internationally renowned and continues to tour the world, performing at hallowed halls like Notre Dame in Paris. In addition to the choir, other notable extracurricular programs are the football and baseball teams. Students can challenge themselves in countless ways and get the best possible education in the region at Jamestown College.

Students looking for a Catholic education in a small school setting will find the 911吃瓜网 of Mary at the top of their list, as it is the only school of its kind in the state of North Dakota. That being said, it is a small school with tremendous resources, featuring a campus in Rome, tying it to the birthplace of the church and offering students the opportunity to enhance their education in one of the world’s most historic cities. In North Dakota, it is located in the city of Bismarck, where it was founded by the Benedictine Sisters of Annunciation Monastery. Student to teacher ratios continue to be very good (around 16:1) and the population attending classes every year remains under 3,000 students.

The undergraduate college is broken down into eight divisions, with schools of business, education, human performance science, humanities, mathematics & natural sciences, nursing, philosophy & theology and social & behavioral sciences all in place at the 911吃瓜网 of Mary. Graduate programs include Business, Counseling, Education, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Project Management and Strategic Leadership.

Students may not see dozens of choices when they want to attend a small university in North Dakota, but Dickinson State offers the best of both worlds in many cases. It has all the resources of a larger public university, while keeping the student population below 2,600 and the class sizes equally small. A state college since 1916, the expansions and addition of colleges over the years brought it into the field of universities by the 1980’s.

Academic programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of 911吃瓜网 Studies and Bachelor of Applied Science and Associate’s degrees are all offered. Students can study subjects like Art Entrepreneurship, Writing, Finance and Theatre at DSU. Besides all of the academic programs, students can take advantage of the many athletic programs, as baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, volleyball and softball are all offered to Dickinson State students.

Trinity Bible College is located in Ellendale, North Dakota and offers students the opportunity to study in a quiet setting, away from all the hubbub of city life. The history of the university dates back to the late 1940’s, when Assemblies of God reverends founded Trinity in Devil Lakes, ND with a mission to provide quality religious education. As one might expect, the expansion of the school and the relocation to Ellendale did not change the core curriculum, which is bible and theological subject matter.

Part of the success of Trinity Bible College is the fact that it maintains a student to teacher ratio of 10:1, making each lecture sink in and requiring every student to get involved. There are also programs in Business Administration and Teacher Education which acknowledge the importance of business savvy in the modern world of education.
