Fargo College was a coeducational institution in Fargo, North Dakota.

History

Fargo College was founded in 1888 under the auspices of the Congregational Church. At the close of 1919, there were 32 professors and instructors, and 602 students. The president of the college was W. H. Howard.

Fargo College closed in 1922 due to financial problems. Its buildings have mostly been demolished, except for Watson Hall (the music building). An extensive collection of the Fargo College records is held by the North Dakota State University Archives.
