in Minnesota and 10 miles east of Interstate 29 in North

Dakota. A small town at heart, we’re friendly, like to work

Need to get away for a few days? The Wahpeton campus

is just 45 minutes from the Fargo-Moorhead area and

three hours from Minneapolis-St. Paul. Plus, it’s only

30 minutes away from lake country. So grab your friends,

some snacks and hit the road for a weekend full of

memories.
