We are now standing outside of our Offerdahl Engineering Complex, home to state-of-the-art lab spaces and countless research opportunities. The College of Engineering offers 12 undergraduate degrees and more than 26 concentrations, so you can find a program that's a perfect fit for you. The complex is in the middle of renovations, and it is set to be open in Fall of 2026.

📖 Interactive Learning
Interactive learning is a cornerstone of the NDSU experience. Our active learning-style classrooms offer a unique experience: the classes are set up with circular tables to encourage discussion and collaboration among students, and the professor stands in the middle of the room to lecture so everyone can see and hear them. From communication to chemistry classes, our interactive learning spaces make group learning exciting and innovative.
💼 Internships / Job Opportunities
The Career and Advising Center (CAC) at NDSU can help you find an internship, co-op, or full-time job during and after your time as an NDSU student. Each year, CAC puts on two, large-scale career fairs where students can meet with employers from across the region and country to network and look for work opportunities. CAC also offers assistance with resumes and cover letters, mock interviews, career coaching, and the career closet (where you can check out professional clothing for free).
🔬 Research
As a land-grant, research university, NDSU has many research opportunities available to students. Students can work as research assistants in labs around campus or as participants in numerous studies. Research shapes students’ futures, generates new discoveries, and builds economic opportunity for the region. With more than $100 million in research expenditures annually, NDSU’s research frequently places it in lists of top 100 research universities.
