There are programs at UND that purposefully offer
students the opportunity to participate in
academic programs while developing lasting
relationships with a small group of students
and faculty. These programs afford students
a relatively small “community” for
pursuing their academic studies, although
each community varies in its structure and
methods.
The Integrated Studies Program is one of these
learning communities. A nationally-known, award-winning
program, Integrated Studies (ISP) provides
an alternative method for taking the general
education classes which UND requires. Each
semester of ISP includes credit from each of
the four general education categories: Communications;
Social Sciences; Arts and Humanities; and Math,
Science, and Technology. All class activities
and discussions are organized around a central
theme to develop connections between disciplines,
and class meeting time includes a variety of
small group settings in which discussion among
students is emphasized. For more information,
refer to the Integrated Studies catalog listing,

The
Wellness Community focuses on living a balanced
lifestyle within the college environment.
As members of the Wellness “wing” in
Brannon Hall, you will have the opportunity
to develop healthy practices, and incorporate
the seven aspects of wellness: emotional,
intellectual, physical, occupational/vocational,
environmental, social and spiritual. For
information on the Wellness Community, contact
the Housing Office at (701) 777-4251.
The Honors Program (described below) is
a learning community designed for students
with an interest in intellectual and creative
pursuits. Students participate in an Honors
class or two per semester as part of their
program of study throughout their undergraduate
education. Other educational, social, and service
activities extend their learning beyond the
classroom experience. Honors housing allows
students the option of carrying the learning
community into specially designated wing of
Fulton residence hall. For information on Honors
housing, contact the Housing Office at (701)
777-4251. Students in any college of the University
may apply for admission to this learning community.
