College Bound
The North Dakota Center for Distance Education recommends the following schedule of study for students who plan to attend a four-year
college or university. These recommendations are based on North Dakota University System requirements but also include the
recommendation that students take two years of a world language. Although the following schedule of study will meet most university
entrance requirements, nonresident students are urged to consult the college or university they plan to attend.
This is a recommended plan of study, and students do have some choices within the required subject areas and electives. If you have
questions about this plan of study, please contact the ND CDE academic advisor at 701-231-6060.
