Bismarck State College 2014–15 1 Welcome!

Welcome to Bismarck State College. Whether you are a freshman on campus, taking a refresher course or wrapping up your time here, I know that you will benefit from what you find and learn at BSC. This is a place where you can find what you need to reach your beyond.

At BSC our academic focus is two-fold. We provide an affordable start for almost any bachelor’s degree or graduate program. You can complete the first and second year of studies toward a bachelor’s degree, then easily transfer on to your college of choice—or stay on campus and earn a four year degree through Minot State, Dickinson State or UND. The other option is for you to pursue a degree or certification in one of our nearly 40 technical programs and be working in a good job in two years or less.

No matter which option you choose, you’ll find small class sizes, outstanding and dedicated instructors and state- of-the-art facilities at BSC. The Jack Science Center and the National Energy Center of Excellence house high-tech labs and classrooms. We are building a Communications and Creative Arts Center that will be home to our arts and communications programs as well as a new library that will serve as a 21st century learning commons for student collaboration and research.

As a community college, the campus hosts a wide array of enrichment courses, concerts, readings, art exhibits and plays. We bring in renowned scholars and speakers throughout the year and open up the campus to outside groups. Because we have residence halls, you also will find rich and varied campus activities, intramurals and clubs. All of these extras will enrich your college experience.

In this catalog you will find the program and courses that will be your guideposts as you move toward your future. I am confident that your academic experience combined with the community you’ll find at Bismarck State College will be a valuable part of that journey. Thank you for choosing us.

Sincerely,

Dave Clark Interim President

-At the time of the interview, students who expect to continue on to a four-year degree are counseled to take the two-semester Anatomy and Physiology series, BIOL 220 and 221, whereas students who plan not to continue beyond the Associate degree are presented with a second option. They may take the BIOL 220 and 221 series or they may choose to enroll in the one semester MLS 100 - Human Structure and Function. This is a condensed course which focuses more specifically on the human anatomy and physiology directly related to diagnostic laboratory procedures. (For example, the special senses are not covered in MLS 100.) This option is attractive to students who do not plan to advance beyond the 2-year MLT curriculum and wish to carry a lighter course load.
