What if you could get college credit in eight weeks instead of sixteen-weeks?

As demand grows for classes that fit into busy lifestyles and meet the needs of adult students going back to school, eight-week classes have become not only a possibility, but a reality.

You can attend accelerated eight-week classes at North Dakota State College of Science within a
wide-variety of academic programs.

Advantages of an 8-week class:
  1. Let’s you complete more classes in a shorter period of time
     
  2. Leads to faster degree completion
     
  3. Increased focus within courses

How an 8-week course differs from a 16-week course:
  • Fast-paced
     
  • Assignments are more concentrated
     
  • Students complete a full-time course load while taking just 2 classes at a time, in two 8-week sessions over a 16-week period
     
  • Averages 4-5 lessons per week
     
  • Requires a concentrated level of focus and a more structured study regimen
