Types of UND Pathway Partnership Programs

The 2+2 programs in UND’s College of Engineering and Mines are meant to provide students the flexibility of taking lower-level courses at one of the partnered institutions and to transfer to UND to complete the remaining requirements in their junior and senior years.

  • Students may earn their Associate’s Degree from their home institution before attending UND to earn a Bachelor’s in their intended major.
  • In order to ensure that students in the 2+2 program are taking the right course at the right time, UND has worked with our partner institutions and created degree plans that show a path towards graduation. Depending on what institution a student is attending, it may require students to begin taking courses at UND prior to their junior year.

UND has 2+2 agreements in place with the following institutions:

  • Bismarck State College
  • Dickinson State University
  • Williston State College
