To meet requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, students interested in teacher education are encouraged to declare a double major in their discipline and in education (i.e. History and History Education). Such double majors may typically be earned by successful completion of a few additional credits. Students should contact their advisers or the Office of Registration and Records for details. Students are encouraged to declare their primary and secondary majors by submitting an online Major Change Form available on the Office of Registration and Records web site.

Undergraduate Degree Requirements

All degree candidates must apply for graduation through the Office of Registration and Records according to university procedures and deadlines.

See College Requirements for additional information on requirements that satisfy the college requirements.

Field Experience Courses

  1. Departments may adopt either pass/fail or letter grade options for Field Experience/ Internships.

    • Where Field Experience/Internship credits are not a requirement of a program, up to three credits may be graded pass/fail to satisfy requirements for a major.

Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education, a program of the Career Center, offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to integrate classroom study with paid, career related work experience for academic credit. Work may be full- or part time. Credit is awarded directly by the Cooperative Education program. A Cooperative Education experience may substantially improve students’ employment opportunities after graduation. See Career Center for further information.

Students seeking deviation from any academic rules and regulations administered by the college may appeal in writing to the College's Committee on Student Progress. Pre-Professional Curricula Requirements for admission to most professional academic programs may be met at NDSU. The specific courses taken in a pre-professional program depend primarily upon the admission requirements of the program to which a student wishes to apply.
