Note: General Education courses shown are those offered online through Bismarck State College. Other courses that are not online may also meet the requirements for this degree. If you have already taken general education courses at other institutions, some of those credits may satisfy these requirements. If you want to know whether courses you have taken elsewhere qualify, e-mail Amanda Dockter. If you plan to take a general education course from another institution and transfer the credits to Bismarck State College, you must receive written permission ahead of time from the Registrar's office at BSC.

* As part of the ENRT 220 Practical Applications course, students are required to complete "hands on" work at either a Power Generating Plant or at the BSC lab. If you choose to complete the work at a plant, we have someone who can assist you with setting this up.
