TRI-COLLEGE UNIVERSITY RECORDS
1969-2006
29 l.f.
History
Tri-College University (TCU) is a consortium of three institutions of higher
education in the Fargo (North Dakota) – Moorhead (Minnesota) metropolitan
area: Concordia College, Minnesota State University Moorhead (previously Moorhead
State University), and North Dakota State University. The primary purpose
of TCU is to maximize opportunities for Tri-College students, faculty, and
the community.
In the late 1960s Concordia College, Minnesota State University Moorhead,
and North Dakota State University came together to form Tri-College University.
The consortium was created to allow students from one university to attend
classes at the other two with no additional tuition or fees. Through TCU,
the three institutions offer a variety of programs, courses, and services
that no single school could offer, or offer as well, by itself.
