These program of study pages provide a summary overview of NDSU's various undergraduate majors, minors and certificate programs.  Majors include a sample program guide for a 4-year program.  The sample program guide is an informal curriculum offering a suggested sequence of courses by semester. Sample program guides are intended to be flexible based on a number of individual student factors and should never replace the official curriculum. A link to the official curriculum is included in each overview.
