Early Entry

Our Early Entry program is designed to give high school students a head start into the background in microbiology and biotechnology while they finish their high school diploma. Students in the Early Entry program earn college credit for the classes they take. You do not need a high school diploma to apply for this program.

NDSU also has a new NDSU Early-Entry Scholarship to help with financial barriers. Students from any state are welcome to apply to take these courses whether or not they plan to attend NDSU for their entire degree.
