How does the Dual Credit Program work?

Planning to enroll in a Dual Credit Course?
You are eligible to participate in the Dual Credit program at MSU if you meet these guidelines:

Qualify for the Emerging Scholars Award by taking a course for Dual Credit or Dual Enrollment on the MSU campus, Minot Air Force Base, or in your high school. "*Recipients of the Bank of North Dakota grant and/or Dollars for Scholars may not receive an Emerging Scholars Award."

Where Can I Take The Course?
Courses can be held in a variety of ways:

Will I Save Money?
The cost savings for you and your parents is substantial. Much of the cost of higher education stems from room, board, and other living expenses. You and your parents pay for university courses while you live at home and attend high school, so you’ll save those costs. In addition, tuition for dual credit courses at Minot State University is comparable to a North Dakota two-year institution.

Will My Transition To College Be Easier?
Dual credit eases the transition from high school to university, giving you time to adjust to rigorous academic expectations while remaining in a more comfortable setting, often with smaller classes and more opportunity to ask questions.

Will My Courses Transfer?
If you decide not to attend Minot State University following high school graduation, we can help you transfer to the college or university of your choice. If you choose to attend another two-year or four-year institution within the North Dakota University System (NDUS), transferring is simple thanks to a policy called the General Education Transfer Agreement. Under this policy, general education courses in the areas of communications, arts and humanities, social sciences, and mathematics/science/technology taken at any NDUS institution can be easily transferred to another NDUS campus.
