Since 1913, Minot State University has been a pillar of higher education in western North Dakota. With over 2,700 students enrolled in over 100 fields of study, MSU students enjoy a wide variety of experiences in a personalized environment that feels like home. Minot State is nestled in the heart of beautiful Minot, North Dakota. Proudly known as the Magic City, Minot is home to nearly 50,000 residents and is an unexpected hub of diversity in part due to a booming energy sector west of the community and growing military community just north. Both on campus and in the community, Minot State students have every opportunity to be seen and be heard.
