Degree Completion program

NDSU's Degree Completion program is for anyone with previous college credits who haven’t finished their bachelor’s degree. Eligible students for this program have not been enrolled in an institution for a minimum of 2 years (24 consecutive months), have earned a minimum of 60 credits and have a minimum 2.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average.

You can either return to your previous degree path or explore a new major, including the Bachelor of University Studies, which offers the greatest flexibility. Your previous credits don’t have to be from NDSU to participate in the Degree Completion program.
