North Dakota Approves Some Three-Year Degrees

The North Dakota State Board of Higher Education will allow colleges to develop reduced-credit degree programs-although only for certain majors, the North Dakota Monitor reported. Only bachelor of applied science degrees, which are generally career and technical programs, such as exercise science or finance, are permitted to be less than 120 credits under the board's new policy. Each public university will be allowed to pilot up to two reduced-credit majors, and the pilots will run from fall 2026 to 2030.
