The building blocks of a great career and rewarding future are waiting for you as an adult returning to college at Bismarck State College.
Your pace
BSC offers exactly what you need to build your career and your future. One class, one certification, one degree at a time, we’ll help you find your path. So, whether you're just starting your educational journey or are going back to college, our programs will prepare you for today's most in-demand careers and opportunities.
Your needs
At BSC, you’ll also have the support you need. Our Admissions team can help our adult students navigate the admissions process and financial aid, including connecting you to scholarships and waivers, and identifying how any previous college credit, military or work experience might already earn you credit toward your degree program.
Your schedule
You have more than college on your plate. To do it all, you need flexible and convenient course delivery. BSC’s courses are offered in-person, online and in a hybrid format where you get the best of both worlds. Every class – whether online or in-person – is interactive, engaging, applicable and taught by engaged faculty who often have vast experience in their field. With multiple start dates a year, you can begin your degree at a time that works best for you.
Whether you dive in full time, or take it one class at a time, BSC welcomes you!
