Location
Bemidji State approaches the 21st century with a deep sense of commitment to its region, a national reputation for quality programming and an international perspective for its 4,800 students. Founded on a sound liberal education, University programs are designed to educate students so that they may live as responsible, productive and free citizens in a global society.
In the heart of the Minnesota lakes and forest region, the University is situated in the heart of the city of Bemidji, midway between Minneapolis/St. Paul and Winnipeg, Manitoba. With stands of pine, oak and birch reflecting the nearby presence of the northern woods, the east side of campus lines the shores of Lake Bemidji. The City of Bemidji (population 30,000) provides a focus for educational, business and medical services. Entertainment and activities include lively downtown Bemidji, shopping malls, theatre, art, downhill and cross country alpine skiing, and various forms of water recreation.
History Bemidji State began as a state Normal school in 1919, became a leading teachers’ college in the region, and achieved University status in 1975. Currently, BSU recognizes over 28,000 alumni.
Academic Program The only baccalaureate institution in northern Minnesota, Bemidji State offers over 70 major fields of study housed in one of three major colleges: Arts and Letters, Social and Natural Sciences, and Professional Studies. Quality education is a priority at BSU, as many programs have earned national acclaim. The accounting program ranks among the nation’s Top 10 in preparing student for the CPA examination, and scientific research has gained national exposure in a variety of fields.
Facilities The modern campus spans 89 acres on the shores of Lake Bemidji, including the recently renovated Physical Education Complex which houses John S. Glas Fieldhouse, an official site for NCAA Championships. The BSU Gymnasium hosts the basketball and volleyball events, and a 3,000 square foot weight room, human performance labaratory, indoor track, and tennis, racquetball and swimming areas complete the complex. Football fans can catch a spectacular view of Lake Bemidji through the east end zone of Chet Anderson Stadium.
