Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates
The structure of the program is a combination of general education and support courses; and online lectures. In addition to the online lectures these programs require attendance in scheduled “on-site” laboratory experiences. Hours and location can be coordinated (to some degree) for the convenience of each student. This requirement must be discussed with a faculty member to ensure a student can successfully complete the program.
Additionally, South Central College graduates may continue their education toward bachelor's and master's degrees through our articulation agreement with the University of North Dakota. South Central College and UND offer all courses as face-to-face and on-line options.
