The Worldwide Web Instructional Committee (WWWIC) at North Dakota State University (NDSU) has been awarded over $3 Million in federal funds to pursue research projects in educational multimedia and role-based multi-user simulation environments (educational games).

WWWIC at NDSU seeks highly qualified students wishing to pursue an M.S. or Ph.D. while assisting with this research. Student stipends (full-time) will range from $12K to $16K, depending on background and experience, and will normally come with a tuition waiver.

Interested individuals are encouraged to submit an application to the Graduate School at NDSU, with interest in WWWIC research expressed in the "statement of purpose" required on every application. Students must take the general GRE exam to be considered for financial support from WWWIC.

North Dakota State University is the state's Morrill Act land-grant institution. Located on the state's eastern border in Fargo, North Dakota's largest city, the university strives to be a leader in information systems, technology transfer, economic development and lifelong learning and encompasses a broad spectrum of curricular offerings, scholarly activity and service. It is one of two major research universities in an 11-institution state university system.

NDSU has enjoyed steady enrollment growth for the past decade. Current enrollment is about 10,000 students on the campus in Fargo. NDSU also serves several thousand people throughout the state in continuing education and extension programs.

Recently named one of the most desirable places in the country to live by "Money" magazine, Fargo is quietly earning a reputation as a perfect place to make a home. Nestled in the rich farmlands of the Red River Valley, the Fargo-Moorhead community has many qualities that contribute to this reputation, including the highly-respected educational system, advanced medical technology, a progressive business community, numerous cultural and arts opportunities, clean air and water, and good-hearted, friendly people. With more than 166,000 people in the community and about 500,000 people in the service area, Fargo-Moorhead is among the largest metropolitan centers between Minneapolis and Seattle and was recently named an All-American City.

NDSU is an equal opportunity institution.
