THE UNIVERSITY

Minot State University was founded in 1913 to serve the citizens of northwest North Dakota .  It is located in Minot , a city with approximately 36,000 residents. The city is served by Northwest Airlines and Amtrak.  Abundant outdoor activities are available, including boating, fishing and camping in the nearby Garrison Dam/Missouri River area, and the Turtle Mountain Region.  Minot also has a strong arts community which features two theatre companies, three art galleries, choral and instrumental groups, a symphony orchestra, and an opera company.  A major U.S. Air Force Base is located in the greater Minot area.  Minot State primarily serves North Dakota , Montana , and several contiguous Canadian provinces. Several Native American communities are located in our region and are represented in our students and faculty.

The University has evolved from a normal school to a Carnegie Master’s I institution.  It is the fourth largest higher education institution in the state and the only non-doctoral university to grant master’s degrees.  Three colleges comprise the university’s academic offerings:  Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education and Health Sciences.  Ten graduate degrees are offered in such areas as communication disorders, management, education, and mathematics.  There is a rich mix of liberal arts and professional programs offering 60 majors at the undergraduate level.  Minot State University is a member of the North Dakota University System, which is comprised of 11 institutions representing doctoral, master, baccalaureate, and community colleges.  The State Board of Higher Education consists of nine members and is the governing board of the System.  Minot State University has a Board of Regents acting as an advisory board and champion for the institution.

In fall 2008, Minot State enrolled over 3,400 students.  Over 600 admitted graduate students are pursuing either the master’s degree or the joint criminal justice Ph.D. program with the University of North Dakota.  Approximately, thirty percent of the student body are registered for correspondence and online courses.  In fact, the University is a state leader in offering online courses, including six undergraduate degree programs and two graduate programs with over 1,000 students each term. 

The faculty at Minot State consists of tenured, tenure-track, special contract full-time, and part-time positions.  While faculty are devoted to teaching, they increasingly contribute to the scholarship of their respective fields.  A growing number of faculty conduct research with students as full partners.  This past year nearly $8 million came to the University through external funding.  The University supports Centers of Excellence including the North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD), the Rural Crime and Justice Center (RCJC), and the Prairie Community Development Center .  Minot State has an active research and service agenda, which strives to engage students at both the undergraduate and graduate level in research with faculty.

BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION 

Major benefits include health insurance and retirement.  Health insurance is provided by Blue Cross/Blue Shield through the office of the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System (NDPERS).  The premium is paid in full by the University.  Health insurance covers vision and dental procedures when deemed as medically necessary.  Routine vision and dental coverage is not available through this health insurance; however, separate coverage for routine vision and dental coverage is available at the employee’s expense.

The retirement plan is a defined contribution plan through Teachers Insurance and Annuities Association-College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF).  This 401a plan requires a contribution from the employee of .5% of base salary and provides a matching contribution from the University of 4.5%.  After two years of plan participation the employee’s contribution increases to 1.5% and the matching contribution increases to 9.5%.  After ten years of plan participation the employee’s contribution increases to 2.0% and the matching contribution increases to 10.0%.  Prior years of service in the NDPERS retirement plan or with another current TIAA-CREF retirement plan are counted toward the number of plan participation years.  TIAA-CREF provides for self-directed investing through a selection of stock, bond, money market, and real estate funds.  A 403b is also offered for those who choose to contribute more toward retirement investments than the 401a plan allows.  Typically, these funds are available for retirement income after termination of employment and the employee’s 55^th birthday.  Funds may also be available should the employee become disabled or for a phased retirement plan.

Another benefit is the accrual of annual and sick leave.  Those in this position begin earning annual leave at the rate of 96 hours (12 days) per year and sick leave at the rate of 96 hours (12 days) per year.  The annual leave earning rate is increased through longevity.  Beginning the first full calendar year of employment, 40 hours of annual leave must be taken during each calendar year, and only 240 hours of annual leave may be carried over into the next calendar year.  Upon termination, any unused annual leave will be paid out to the employee based on the current rate of pay.  Sick leave accrues without limit.  After ten years of service, and upon termination, ten percent of the unused sick leave accrual balance will be paid out to the employee based on the current rate of pay.

Other benefits provided by the University include long-term disability insurance, the ability to share and receive leave from other employees in certain circumstances, FlexComp plan for medical and dependent care expenses, and life insurance.  The life insurance is a term policy with a death benefit of $1,300.  Upon employment, employees may purchase additional life insurance up to $200,000 without evidence of insurability at their own expense through competitive rates.

Salary amounts are based on internal equity and the most recent data from the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) for administrative positions.  The minimum salary for this position is $50,000.
