While Academic Orientation focuses on your introduction to academic life, UMD's Bulldog Bash welcome program centers on your social transition to campus life. The program consists of a series of activities and events to help you make new friends, feel comfortable in your new environment, and learn about services and resources available at UMD. Starting with residence hall move-in and continuing throughout the weekend, there will be social, recreational, and educational activities planned for new students. By actively participating in Bulldog Bash, you will set a positive tone for a successful first year at UMD. The University of Minnesota Duluth is a comprehensive regional university. Undergraduate students can choose from 12 bachelor's degrees in 75 majors.

UMD consistently ranks among the top Midwestern, regional universities in U.S. News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges" issue.
