Veteran & Military Admissions

At the University of North Dakota, meet adversity head-on, roll up our sleeves and get the job done. We lead not by telling, but by doing.

Top 10 Military Friendly University

At the University of North Dakota, we believe our military personnel, veterans and their families have selflessly served our country and deserve to have the opportunity to access high-quality college programs that will propel them in the armed forces and civilian life.

Designated as a Top 10 Military Friendly University, we strive to help create pathways, reduce barriers and provide flexibility for our military personnel online and on campus. UND's Veteran & Military Services is available to help veterans and military affiliated students maximize their college funding.

The Grand Forks community is also the proud home to Grand Forks Air Force Base, which houses more than 2,000 Airmen. In addition, U.S. News & World Report has named Grand Forks as one of the top 5 best cities to settle in as a veteran. 

Best Military Friendly Online School

U.S. News & World Report recognizes UND as a top online education provider for military veterans.

In all, UND offers more than 200 different courses and nearly 50 accredited bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees that are available fully online.

Using Your Military Education Benefits

As an active duty military service member, veteran, North Dakota National Guard member, or spouse, you will be charged the North Dakota in-state tuition rate for all on-campus courses regardless of your actual residency status. If you enroll in an online program, you'll be billed the standard online tuition rate for that program. Online programs are not dependent on residency.

AU-ABC

We're a partner with the U.S. Air Force, offering Air University Associate-to-Baccalaureate Cooperative (AU-ABC) degrees. Any active Airmen can maximize the credit you've earned through the Community College of the Air Force and apply it to a bachelor's degree at UND.
