Leaders Can Come From Anywhere, But They Go Here.

Each UND student embarks on a journey to become a leader. It's work worth doing, making a positive impact locally, nationally and beyond.

Meet Our Students

Leaders in Online Programs

UND has been offering a distance engineering program for more than 30 years (starting with VHS tapes of lectures being mailed out to our distance students!), being the first university to offer an accredited engineering program via distance in most of our majors. 

For students pursuing a degree online, our online delivery mode offers an opportunity to complete the majority of their undergraduate degree coursework remotely. They get the same degree as the campus students, but can watch lectures in a format that fits their schedule. 

In most programs, students are required to complete their engineering laboratory requirements through condensed summer courses in person at UND (except Electrical Engineering & Computer Science which utilize virtual labs and at-home kits). Since our online students experience the same lectures and coursework requirements as our on campus students, we consider this education experience to be essentially equivalent and our online graduates receive the same accredited degrees, career prospects, and recognition as our campus students.

Real Research. Real Results.
