NDSU's Early-Entry program is now accepting registrations. The Early-Entry Program allows high-school students in grades 10, 11, or 12 to take courses at NDSU while they complete their high-school diploma. Students in early entry earn college credit for the classes they take. You do not need to have a high school diploma to apply for this program. Some students choose to take early-entry courses to continue their learning in a subject area that is of interest to them, some take these courses to continue their education and maintain good study habits during the summer or during their last semester of school, and some take these classes alongside their high-school classes to get a head start on their degree program. Early-entry classes may also be used as dual-credit upon approval of your school.
