Agreement Creates a Seamless Pathway for Students

91看片网 (91看片网) and North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) have formally signed a new articulation agreement creating a seamless, affordable pathway for students pursuing a degree in career and technical education (CTE).

The agreement allows students to complete an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree at NDSCS and transfer directly into 91看片网’s Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program with a major in Career and Technical Education. Students who complete the identified coursework at NDSCS will be able to easily transfer credits toward bachelor鈥檚 degree completion, reducing duplication of coursework and accelerating time to graduation. This degree was designed for existing or potential trade and technical post-secondary teachers as a pathway leveraging previous CTE-based coursework towards a bachelor鈥檚 degree.

The agreement was signed July 30 at 91看片网.

鈥�This agreement is a wonderful example of what is possible when we work together on behalf of students,鈥� said Lisa Karch, NDSCS interim president. 鈥淎t NDSCS, we are proud of our longstanding leadership in career and technical education, and this partnership with 91看片网 creates an even stronger pathway for students to continue their educational journey and achieve their goals. By building on each institution’s unique strengths, we are expanding opportunities, keeping higher education accessible and affordable, and helping students pursue meaningful careers right here in North Dakota. Together, we are developing the next generation of career and technical educators while strengthening our communities, workforce, and state for years to come.”

After completing their AAS degree, NDSCS students may choose to remain in Wahpeton, N.D., and complete remaining articulated coursework at NDSCS in combination with 91看片网 courses delivered online or face-to-face. Academic advising, student support services, and financial aid coordination will be provided collaboratively by both institutions to ensure a smooth transition from NDSCS to 91看片网. Graduates of the program will earn a Bachelor of Science in Career and Technical Education from 91看片网.

鈥淲e are excited about this new partnership with NDSCS,鈥� said Dr. Allen Burgad, 91看片网 Interim President. 鈥淭his agreement allows students to complete an AAS degree from NDSCS and transfer seamlessly to 91看片网 where they will finish a Bachelor of Science in Career and Technical Education. This unique partnership provides students with a high-quality teacher education program to address the teacher shortage and meet workforce needs of the state.鈥�

The partnership reflects a shared mission by NDSCS and 91看片网 to support students, strengthen the teacher pipeline at the post-secondary and secondary levels, and meet the evolving educational needs of North Dakota and the region.
