The most current information can always be found at bismarckstate.edu.

Bismarck State College 1 Welcome to Bismarck State College! Like North Dakota, Bismarck State is booming. As the third largest institution in North Dakota, we serve more than 4,000 on-campus and online students along with 1,400+ collaborative students through Dickinson State University, Minot State University, University of Mary, UND and the Bismarck Public Schools. Our workforce training, enrichment and professional development offerings brought another 16,142 students into the mix in 2012.

We are glad you are part of our diverse student body!

As an innovative community college, we have two vital roles. First, we provide an affordable place to begin. Bismarck State is a place you can find your way, get an educational foundation and then transfer on to another college or university or go into the workforce. Our second role is to offer programs that are responsive and industry-focused, providing students with a technical degree that gets you into a high demand career, quickly.

You will also find small class sizes, outstanding and dedicated instructors and state-of-the-art facilities. The Jack Science Center and the National Energy Center of Excellence house high-tech labs and classrooms. These buildings are the physical manifestations of BSC’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics excellence.

We also have a strong and historic focus on the humanities and liberal arts from Art to Biology to Music and beyond. We are working toward adding a Communications and Creative Arts Center that will be to communications and visual arts what the National Energy Center of Excellence is to energy and technical programs. When it comes to fruition, it also will be home to a 21st century learning commons for student collaboration and research.

We are proud to be a place where liberal arts and technical programs mesh, and where you can find the programs, development and support you need to reach your beyond. I know that your experience at Bismarck State College will set the course for your future success. Thank you for allowing us to be part of that journey.

Sincerely,

Larry C. Skogen, Ph.D. President
