Bismarck State College

I am a current student at BSU presently, I want everyone who is planning to study there to know this. This school will only help you if you are currently working in plant Industry and want to improve your knowledge and have a degree. If you just graduate from high school and is the kind of student that can thought yourself and very smart, I will say go for it. I got an associate degree in mechanical engineering from an African country, and worked for 6 years as a piping designer, I already knew a lot about pumps, compressor etc., visually see them and know how they work, so when studying at Bismarck state college, it was like a review. I went there knowing what I wanted. A degree, 90% of my classmate work in the industry like me and are just looking for a degree. According to me, it the best school in the energy industry.

You teach yourself. No videos, no help. Wish I went somewhere else.

I began the AAS program in fall of 2005. I was pleased with the quality initially, but even more so as I progressed through the program. The online and interactive content became better and better, and I was even able to operate a scale power plant from my computer at home. Instructors vary in quality and help as they do at all institutions, but overall I felt the level of education was very high quality and well worth the money. Many of the instructors come from the industry which, for me, adds value and respect for the program. I have completed two of the energy AAS degrees offered from BSC and was hired immediately after graduation. Overall I am very pleased and would recommend this school to anyone wanting to enter the power or process plant industry.
