Explore What's Possible
At NDSU's College of Arts & Sciences, your curiosity can take you from the lab to the studio, from the classroom to the field and from your first idea to a meaningful impact.
Find your path.
Your interests don't have to fit into one box. Explore programs across the arts, sciences, humanities, social sciences and education and build an education around what you're curious about.

Your Questions Can Lead Somewhere
As an NDSU student, you don't have to wait until graduate school to do meaningful research. Work alongside faculty, explore questions you're curious about and contribute to discoveries that reach beyond the classroom.
The Sibi Group
This multidisciplinary research group explores innovative approaches to chemistry, with a focus on green chemistry, enantioselective transformations, catalysis, medicinal chemistry and sustainable material science. Students from around the world collaborate to develop solutions to important challenges facing society.
Social Psychology and Affective Neuroscience in Health Lab
The SPANH Lab explores how social connection, emotion, and loneliness affect health and well-being across the lifespan.
Real Work, Right From the Start
Learning doesn't stop at the classroom door. Through research, internships, creative projects, study abroad, service-learning and other hands-on experiences, you'll put what you learn into practice and build skills for what's next.
The Peer Mentor Program
We Make Big Feel Personal
At a research university, you can still know your professors, find mentors and build a community. Peer mentors and faculty help you find your people and feel at home from day one.
From Curiosity to Career Path
Your degree is a starting point, not a destination. Build versatile skills, gain experience and prepare for careers across industries or continue your education through graduate or professional school.
