As you visit our campus, you will discover that the College’s extensive facilities and organizations open a wide range of student opportunities for a full college experience. This blended atmosphere of instruction and
extracurricular activities prepares you for more than a specific field of study.
These life-long learning and leadership experiences—your most memorable—come from a wide variety of campus activities. Your participation
in student government, clubs, music, drama, intercollegiate and intramural athletics, or professional and occupational organizations,
plus campus social events, makes NDSCS an exciting place.
Major curriculum divisions are the Arts, Science and Business Division and the Technologies and Services Division. Students may enroll for a specific program in one division and also take
applicable courses in the other division, allowing each student to obtain general and specific educational programs for transfer
and/or occupational needs.
The Arts, Science and Business Division offers courses and programs in liberal arts, pre-professional and general education for transfer to bachelor degree granting colleges and universities.
The Arts, Science and Business Division also offers highly regarded programs in agriculture, allied health, business, computer information systems and other related careers which prepare students for immediate employment.
The Technologies and Services Division provides learning experiences through theory, laboratory and shop curriculum practices in various fields of training. Students are provided technical and
trade competencies as well as preparation for life in this increasingly technological age.
The College Outreach Division is responsible for courses and programs provided through Distance Education, Workforce Training, Related Study, Connections and the Skills and Technology Training Center. The primary purpose of College Outreach is to insure that the services of NDSCS are made available to individuals, businesses and/or other groups who have educational or training needs which cannot typically be met through the regular instructional schedule or course offerings.
Enrollment is approximately 2,300 students.
Most of the students come from North Dakota with some from Minnesota, Montana, and South Dakota, as well as from greater distances. Facilities include the latest equipment in all shops, laboratories and classrooms. The College has two state-of-the-art Interactive Video Network
(IVN) labs for distant learning from other campuses or locations. |
