History

HHN was created in 1985 as Bodø Graduate School of Business and was the second college in Norway allowed to offer postgraduate business administration education in Norway. Before this the only available Master of Business Administration was offered at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration in Bergen. In 1994 a reform to merge the regional colleges to create university colleges was performed, and HHN was made part of Bodø University College. In 2004 the college started undergraduate education in Mo i Rana. In January 2016, University of Nordland was merged with Nesna University College and Nord-Trøndelag University College, becoming Nord University.
