About this School
Bemidji State University (BSU) is a public Minnesota state university in Bemidji, Minnesota on the shores of Lake Bemidji. It is a part of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU). BSU was founded in 1919 as Bemidji State Normal School. The name was later changed to Bemidji State Teachers College, then shortened to Bemidji State College and finally became Bemidji State University. Current enrollment at BSU includes over 5000 students from 44 states and 40 countries. For 16 years BSU has had a relationship with Liaoning University, a university in China. Each year a professor from Liaoning University goes to BSU to teach Chinese and each summer BSU students participate in "Sino-Summer", a month long visit to China with half of the time spent at Liaoning University and half touring other parts of China including Beijing, Xi'an and Guilin. The school sports teams are called the Beavers and compete in NCAA Division II. The Beavers are members of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in all sports, except for hockey. The Beavers compete at the Division I level in the College Hockey America conference for the men, and in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for the women.
