About Research, we believe that Faculty research that advances knowledge is vital to maintaining the university as a learning community. Faculty and student research enhances the University's reputation. Faculty and student research improves teaching and learning, develops critical thinking, and models lifelong learning. Research connects scholars to professional, local, and global communities. About Service, we believe that Effective service is client-centered.
Community service is an integral part of an interactive university.
Service is personable, efficient, and accessible. Responsible people know, understand, consider, and accept the impact and consequences of personal actions and decisions. All feel a special connection as a valued member of the community. The Minot State University Learning Vision MSU is an ideal learning environment in which all perceive learning as dialectic and ongoing. They see themselves as active producers of knowledge, of value both to themselves and to others.
