Veteran & Military Admissions
At the University of North Dakota, we are leaders in action. We meet adversity head-on, roll up our sleeves and get the job done. We lead not by telling, but by doing.
Nobody represents "leaders in action" more than our military personnel. For decades UND has worked with student veterans and is recognized as a leader in service. We're committed to providing the best educational experience and service to our military affiliated students.
UND's Veteran & Military Services is available to help veterans and military affiliated students maximize their college funding.
