Overview
School Website >>The NDSU College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources has a tradition of excellence in teaching, research, and Extension. The three-tiered mission of a land-grant university is embodied by the faculty and staff. Our students have great opportunities to learn from and work with world-class scientists in state-of-the-art facilities. These interactions, along with a relatively low student-faculty ratio, provide opportunities for students to develop their critical thinking skills, to work in a team setting, and to capitalize on hands-on learning experiences that will allow them to be competitive in a global economy.
Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana residents receive a discount of nearly $2,500 to $3,000 off of the out-of-state tuition rate.

NDSU Beef Cattle Research Complex
The NDSU Beef Cattle Research Complex is one of four of its caliber in North America and the only one of its type at a land grant university. The facility allows research to be conducted in a number of areas of beef production including nutrition, reproductive physiology, genomics, cattle management and production, pre-harvest food safety, animal behavior, environmental management, nutrient management and meat sciences and carcass quality. The facility was constructed using a combination of state and federal dollars, which totaled more than $3 million. The center will allow NDSU to accomplish the vast array of research needed to meet the challenges of 21st century beef cattle production. It complements intensive campus-based facilities such as the Animal Nutrition and Physiology Center
