The Minot State University Department of Nursing has signed an articulation agreement to provide guaranteed admission to nursing students from Northland Community and Technical College (NCTC) in East Grand Forks, Minnesota.

The agreement confirms all students admitted to the NCTC Associate of Science nursing program will be given the additional option of guaranteed admission into MSU’s online Bachelor of Science in Nursing Completion Program, provided all Minot State admissions and program requirements are met, according to MSU.

It is the first non-North Dakota University System school to sign an articulation agreement with MSU. MSU also has guaranteed admission agreements with Dakota College at Bottineau and Lake Region State College.
