Minnesota State University Moorhead, Public university in Moorhead, United States.
Minnesota State University Moorhead is a public higher education institution that spreads across a campus with modern teaching buildings, laboratories, and recreational facilities near the Red River of the North. The school includes several colleges with a total of 76 undergraduate majors and 14 graduate programs in business, innovation, arts, and sciences.
The school began in 1885 when the Minnesota State Legislature founded a teacher training school in the Red River Valley on land donated by a local senator. This start as a training institution shaped its growth into a full-scale modern university.
The university houses the New Rivers Press, a nonprofit literary publisher that releases work from emerging writers and supports student-run publications across campus. This press shapes the literary life of the institution and gives students hands-on experience in publishing.
Visitors can walk around the campus and access modern teaching buildings and recreational facilities, with several entry points making it easy to enter the grounds. The location near the Red River also offers chances to explore the region's natural surroundings.
Every year students present research projects at the Student Academic Conference, an event that has provided a stage for student research presentations since the late 1990s. This gathering shows the range of interests and discoveries among the student body.
