Enriching the Student Learning Experience

An Exceptional UND strives to maximize the learning experience for each student. An outstanding education founded on the liberal arts remains the strongest and most flexible preparation for a lifetime of professional success, personal development, interaction in a rapidly changing, globalized society, and access to a broad array of graduate and professional programs. An Exceptional UND will provide an academic environment that is challenging, rewarding, and full of great resources and opportunities. Examples from the 2010 Consultants' Report include:

• Rigorous and engaging first-year undergraduate experiences, such as seminars, linked courses, and learning communities
• Deep-learning opportunities such as undergraduate research, experiential and service learning, and study abroad
• Adaptive, convenient, and personalized attention to student success
• Environment and programs that embrace diversity, understanding, and fellowship
