Our NDSU Continued Learning courses offered through our vendors are designed for reskilling, upskilling, enrichment or for pay scale increases. In general, they are not applicable for use on a degree program of study as most of the courses are non-credit and not degree eligible.
NDSU strongly recommends that you seek approval or check requirements from your organization, licensing entity, or state prior to enrolling in the course or certificate of your choice. We also recommend you check each individual course or bundle and certification body to make sure it meets your individual needs.
