Admission Requirements

Freshman

Start your journey here. Apply as a freshman if you’re a high school senior, high school graduate, or GED recipient who hasn’t attended college yet.

Finish what you started. Transfer to Minot State with a 2.0 GPA. If transferring fewer than 24 credits, you must meet freshman requirements, too.

Go beyond borders. You graduated from high school in Canada or are looking to transfer and earn your degree in the United States.

Explore the possibilities. You graduated from a high school abroad or are transferring and seeking a degree in the United States.

Take the next step. Apply to a graduate program with a completed bachelor’s degree and meet all program-specific requirements.

Learn from anywhere. Earn your degree online with our flexible, accredited programs. Study at your own pace and balance education with your life.

Your service matters. Active-duty members and veterans can apply by submitting military transcripts and documents to access benefits.

Get ahead in high school. High school juniors and seniors with a 2.5+ GPA can earn college credit through their school, IVN, or on MSU’s campus.

Welcome back home. Reapply and submit transcripts for any courses you’ve taken since you last attended Minot State.

Discover new opportunities. Apply as a non-degree student with a simple process—no transcripts required. Perfect for personal growth.

Build on your degree. Apply as a post-baccalaureate student by submitting your undergraduate transcript to earn another degree.

It’s never too late. Seniors 65+ enjoy waived tuition. Simply complete the application and submit your transcript to enroll.
