GRAND FORKS \u2013 July 30, 2024 \u2013<\/strong> The University of North Dakota and Dickinson State University are proud to announce a collaboration to expand engineering education opportunities in western North Dakota. This partnership aims to provide DSU students with seamless access to UND\u2019s engineering programs<\/a>, enhancing educational offerings and supporting regional workforce development.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding agreement, DSU students who meet the specified criteria will be eligible to enroll in UND\u2019s engineering programs. Program options include Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Geological Engineering, Geology, Mechanical Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering. This initiative leverages the strengths of both institutions to deliver high-quality engineering education through a combination of DSU\u2019s local resources and UND\u2019s specialized programs.<\/p>\n

UND will accept DSU students into its engineering programs, subject to the transfer requirements outlined in the agreement. This ensures that DSU graduates can continue their education without interruption. The advising of DSU students regarding admission and program requirements will be a joint effort between DSU and UND, utilizing dual admissions and enrollment.<\/p>\n

UND will provide online courses for DSU freshman and sophomore engineering courses required for an engineering degree. Upper-level engineering courses will be scheduled to allow DSU students to complete the necessary coursework over a three-year period. Required laboratory instruction will be offered on the UND campus during summer semesters. DSU students who complete the articulated program of study and meet all UND graduation requirements will be eligible for a UND bachelor\u2019s degree in the specified engineering discipline and their DSU degree.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to partner with the University of North Dakota to bring these essential engineering programs to our students in western North Dakota,” said Holly Gruhlke, Dickinson State University Vice President. “This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide accessible, high-quality education and support the workforce needs of our region.”<\/p>\n

“This agreement represents a significant step forward in expanding educational opportunities and fostering collaboration between our institutions,” said Brian Tande, dean of the UND College of Engineering & Mines. “We look forward to welcoming DSU students into our engineering programs and supporting their academic and professional success.”<\/p>\n

For information on this collaboration, students may contact the DSU Admissions Office at dsu.hawk@dickinsonstate.edu<\/a> or call 701-502-4390.<\/p>\n
