Why I Chose BSC

"When I looked at the colleges in Bismarck, BSC was the most affordable college. Tuition was very affordable as a parent this was something that I had to consider when going back to school."

Katie Heid

Nursing

"This is my fourth time trying college. This is the first time where I feel like I got really a good foothold with classes. BSC’s instructors and staff are a lot more friendly and welcoming than what I'm used to; I thought, ‘this place works; it's for me."

Josh Dummer

Cybersecurity

"BSC truly paved the way for me… It not only opened up many doors but also instilled in me a love for my field. The hands-on learning experiences I received were invaluable and provided a practical application to my learning."

Britnee Weisz

Geographic Information Systems

"BSC has prepared me to be workforce-ready because everything I’m learning in my classes, I am putting to work in my current job. This degree will help me work my way up in the company I already work for. In addition to the hands-on learning, the small community at BSC is probably my favorite thing."
