1980
The
1980s were a period of growth for UND, marked by
rising enrollments, full accreditation of professional
schools and programs, more student diversity, and
the development of new master's and doctoral programs.
Perhaps the biggest change was the widespread use
of computers and other technologies. The academic
campus grew to nearly a mile in length with the addition
of a research facility and growth in the aerospace
program.
Computers, which had once been so large that one processor took up an entire room, began shrinking to desktop size, and the University took advantage of the technology to benefit students and research. The Scientific Computing Center began operation. |
