2 research universities – 29,467*
4 primarily undergraduate institutions
– 7,197*
5 community colleges – 10,849*51% of NDUS students are ND residents67% of NDUS students stay in ND after graduationHigher
education in ND not under the NDUS:5 tribal colleges
– 1,594Numerous private institutionsProject OverviewEngaged in INSPIRE-ND
