High School. By 1964, the number of seminarians had grown to 65, and the former Convent of the Sacred Heart building had become inadequate in size. Bishop Dworschak decided that a new facility was necessary, and an 80-acre property was chosen on Fargo's north side, a short distance. Construction began in 1965, and was completed in the fall of 1966, making it the largest building project the Diocese of Fargo had ever undergone. Bishop Dworschak dedicated the new building on August 22, 1966. The seminarians began the 1966–1967 academic year at the new building. A full faculty, unaffiliated with Shanley High School, was hired, and the high school program received independent accreditation. All classes were taught at the new campus and diplomas were now awarded by Cardinal Muench Seminary. In 1966, the seminary commenced a program for college-age men. The administration reached an agreement between the seminary, North Dakota State University, and the North Dakota Board of Higher Education. Now, Cardinal Muench seminarians would matriculate to North Dakota State, and the seminary would provide philosophy, humanities, and classics instructors to the university. Beginning in 1972, the seminary began to enroll men from other dioceses in both the college and high school programs. In the years that followed, seminarians were enrolled from 12 dioceses besides the Diocese of Fargo. in that same year, the first Cardinal Muench alumnus was ordained to the priesthood. Also in 1972, Cardinal Muench Seminary tweaked its curriculum to accommodate seminarians who had already graduated from college. That year, the seminary enrolled its first student who already had a baccalaureate degree. Given that the curriculum was designed for men who had not yet earned a college degree, seminarians who already had one were at first known as "special students." Later, the seminary developed its Pre-Theology Program for these seminarians. The program was originally one year, but when the US Conference of Catholic Bishops changed its requirements for priestly formation, it was lengthened to two years. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the seminary, in conjunction with the Diocese of Fargo, began increasing outreach efforts to attract seminarians. in 1989, the Rev. Valentine Gross, the Rector of Cardinal Muench Seminary, designed an aptitude and interest test for middle school and high school students to contemplate a priestly vocation. In 1991, the seminary started the Vianney Discernment Program to help young men discern their vocation. The men lived
