[[University of Jamestown]] (formerly called Jamestown College) is a private liberal arts college founded by the [[Presbyterian Church]] and located on the north side of town. Its current enrollment is 908 students in 2021. Ranked by ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' in the top tier of regional undergraduate institutions,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uj.edu/campus/press/UsNews07.php |title=US News and World Report moves University of Jamestown to top tier |access-date=October 31, 2007 |date=August 17, 2007 |work=Jamestown College }}{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> it is also notable among religious colleges for having been a co-educational institution from its founding in 1883. Its first fall term was opened at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, September 29, 1886. After financial hardships, affecting the entire county, Jamestown College had to close its doors in the spring of 1890. On September 22, 1909, Jamestown College reopened after a population growth in the State due to improved farming methods. With no higher education available between Fargo, ND (100 miles East) and Missoula, MT (700 miles West), Jamestown College became a successful school.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uj.edu/about-us/our-history |title=Our History |access-date=May 1, 2015 |date=2015 |work=University of Jamestown}}</ref>
