Welcome to the MSU Graduate School website.

Minot State University proudly offers eleven graduate programs, including one specialist degree, nine master's degrees, and one graduate certificate. Additionally, MSU offers a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice jointly with the University of North Dakota.

All students attending MSU, regardless of their residency, pay North Dakota in-state tuition and fees for campus classes. Tuition for online and off-site classes is the same as for classes on campus; fees vary slightly.

Course delivery is designed to meet the needs of both full-time and part-time students.
