Colleges, Universities, and Schools
in North Dakota
In today's competitive, technology-driven
world, education beyond high school is becoming increasingly important. You should
think seriously about the knowledge, skills and qualifications that will help you
to gain professional advancement and look for training programs relevant to your
field at colleges, universities and schools. In a demanding job market, career education
is a smart investment in your future and recent studies have shown that people with
higher levels of education tend to have higher incomes.
If you are not sure exactly which career path you want to follow, you still have
much to gain from continuing your education. Studying at any level - whether for
a certificate, associate, baccalaureate or higher degree - will improve your oral
and written communication, thinking and analytical skills and introduce you to new
ideas, careers and life goals.
Education increases your employability and earning potential but, more importantly,
it gives you the tools for lifelong learning and therefore the power to achieve whatever
goals you choose.
With regard to your career education, there are a range of colleges, universities
and schools in North Dakota, particularly in the larger cities and towns. This northern
state is one of the most rural in the United States, with farmland covering more
than ninety percent of its surface area. It is the nation's largest producer of spring
and durum wheat.

food processing and farm equipment. The state is also rich in natural resources so
the extraction of coal, oil, natural gas, sand, clay and gravel contribute substantially
to its income.
