The University of North Dakota (UND) is a comprehensive, public university in Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA. UND is the largest and oldest university in the state of North Dakota. Funded by the Dakota Territorial Assembly in 1883, UND was established six years before the state of North Dakota. UND was intended to be, and has remained, a university with a strong liberal arts foundation surrounded by a variety of professional and specialized programs. UND is one of only 47 public universities in the nation with both accredited graduate schools of law and medicine.
The university's athletic program is known as North Dakota Fighting Hawks, adopted in 2015 after major controversy over the former nickname of Fighting Sioux earlier in the 21st century.
