We’re always listening to the needs of our students and our community. Although all of our courses are catered towards the working individual’s schedule, we recently introduced a new class structure to two of our programs designed for students who want to get their degree faster but have very busy lifestyles.

The first of its kind in the state of South Dakota, students seeking a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice or Human Service will be able to attend classes — which are offered in an eight-week format and meet twice a week — from wherever they might be, through a combination of face-to-face learning and online and remote classes. 

No matter where you’re at in life, we’re here to help you take the next step. Here are a few reasons why students found success through their degrees:

  • FLEXIBLE CLASS SCHEDULES: MOST CLASSES MEET ONCE A WEEK. TWO-THIRDS OF OUR CLASSES ARE HELD IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING. SOME COURSES OFFERED ONLINE.

  • Interested in Criminal Justice or Human Service? Get your Degree faster through the Flex Option program.

  • GET ASSISTANCE IN FINDING FINANCIAL AID OR OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS.
