University and Community:
Recognized as a “Best College” by U.S. News for the past 23 years,
VCSU offers one of the best academic values in the Midwest. VCSU
was founded as a teacher’s college in 1890, earning a prestigious
reputation for producing some of the best educators in the
area. The Music Department has committed to
enhancing the educational legacy of the institution by
combining advanced music
technology with traditional educational practices.
These enhanced offerings will be best reflected as the
music department transitions into the newly
completed Center for the Arts in December
2021. This $32
million state-of-the-art facility includes a
350-seat performance hall, a 100-seat recital hall/choral
room, an extensive audio production studio,
an instrumental rehearsal room,
piano and computer labs, large and small practice rooms,
and faculty offices/studios.
Our 55-acre campus, one of the most attractive in North
Dakota, is bordered on the south by a forested hillside and on the
north by the Sheyenne River. Campus architecture features a
graceful blend of historic and modern buildings. The entire campus
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a Historic
District.? VCSU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission
(HLC), the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE), the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic
Training Education (CAATE), and the National Association of Schools
of Music (NASM). The university is located in the
southeastern part of the state in the city from which the
institution takes its name. Valley
City has a population of approximately 6,500 and is
located 60 miles west of Fargo on Interstate 94, making the campus
easily accessible both from the east and west. The location of the
community lends itself to cultural and recreational activities, and
the newly constructed Gaukler
Wellness Center offers a variety of services to
members.
