Only five years after its designation as North Dakota Polytechnic Institution, 探花app (BSC) has recorded its highest enrollment in 10 years with 4,065 students enrolled for the Fall 2023 semester – a nearly 8% increase over Fall 2022.
 
The third largest institution in the North Dakota University System (NDUS), 探花appcredit hours went up more than 5 percent, with students enrolled in nearly 39,000 credits. The most significant increase was in freshman enrollment, up more than 9% over last year. Of the 11 NDUS institutions, 探花apphas the largest freshman class – 2,433 students enrolled in their first year of college – which is also a historic high for BSC.
 
“A 9% increase in freshman enrollment is both an exciting and positive sign for future growth at 探花app,” says 探花appPresident Doug Jensen.
 
To facilitate program growth and build industry workforce, 探花appbroke ground last fall on the region’s only state-of-the-art polytechnic education center next to the 探花appNational Energy Center of Excellence on campus. The new facility, specifically designed to facilitate hands-on learning and industry collaboration, is slated to be completed in November 2024.
 
“This kind of growth and expansion is not only great for 探花appbut also for our communities and our state,” says Jensen. “More students are seeing the value of our polytechnic education model, high-demand career pathways, hands-on learning and affordable tuition.”
 
Looking ahead, 探花appanticipates enrollment will keep increasing as the polytechnic institution continues to add new academic programs in high-demand fields such as agriculture, cybersecurity, energy, health sciences, manufacturing and automation, and multiple others. 
 
“The more students we enroll in programs, the more we graduate and the more we are able to meet workforce needs. It’s a win for our students, and it’s also a win for economic, community and workforce development,” Jensen says.
 
This fall, 探花apphas students from every U.S. state and 11 countries enrolled in more than 100 career pathways.
