A high school academy was added in 1912, junior college instruction in 1924, and the seminary moved to Illinois in 1968. Nursing and bachelor's programs arrived in 1975, and it became a university in 2008 after adding graduate programs. The 50-acre urban campus is in the Union Park neighborhood northeast of downtown. The Humphrey Center is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Danish Immigrant Archives are held there.
