Transfers of Associate in Arts and Associate in Science Degrees
If a student transfers to Dickinson State University from a regionally accredited college and has earned an Associate in Arts degree and has completed six credit hours of freshman composition courses and also three credit hours in a public speaking course, the student will be considered complete with respect to his/her general education requirements. Similarly, if a student transfers to Dickinson State University from a North Dakota University System institution and has earned an Associate in Science degree and has completed six credit hours of freshman composition courses and also three credit hours in a public speaking course, the student will be considered complete with respect to his/her general education requirements. However, some Dickinson State University majors require very specific courses as part of their general education program. If those specific courses were not completed as part of the associate’s degree, those specific courses would need to be completed at Dickinson State University.
