North Dakota State University (NDSU) and the NDSU's health profession programs are dedicated to creating an inclusive, robust and highly educated student body that reflects the rich range of cultures in the global workplace. The university and college offer students from all backgrounds a welcoming and challenging educational environment in which to prepare for rewarding careers in health care fields and success in life.

Through diversity, students are empowered to seek excellence and grow in their understanding and respect for others. NDSU’s administration, faculty, staff and students embrace diversity and consider it a vital element to quality teaching, research and the best care for patients.
