BSC Student Ambassadors

Students who plan to transfer to pursue a bachelor's degree should note that the suggested curricula are simply aids in planning and that substitutions or changes may be made depending upon the background and needs of the individual students and the requirements of a specific four-year college or university.

The college encourages students who plan to transfer from BSC to consult the catalog of the four-year institution to examine prerequisites for continued college study.

Students enrolled in technical programs should note that these programs are designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge for entry-level employment (job readiness) in their selected occupation. Length of the technical programs ranges from one to two years.

Courses of the programs listed as being designed for job readiness are not designed for transfer, and in most cases, will not transfer to a four-year institution. There are some exceptions, however, and students should consult with their adviser concerning transferability of courses. Three exceptions involve baccalaureate degrees offered by Bismarck State College, Minot State University and Dickinson State University. Bismarck State College will offer a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Energy Management, which is expected to begin in January 2008. The BAS program will be offered online and is designed for students who have completed the AAS degree in BSC's energy education programs. View More Info about BAS Degree.

Many of the programs have limits on the number of students accepted in any single year. Admission to these programs is on a first-come, first served basis. Early application is recommended to assure potential students a place in the class they wish to enter.

Information regarding enrollment limits and whether a program is designed for transfer or job readiness is noted at the beginning of each program or curriculum listing.

Availability of courses is subject to change whenever such changes are deemed necessary (or based upon availability of resources or student enrollment).
