Seventy-one students participating in Bismarck State College's Dual Credit/Early Entry program have been named to the President's Honor Roll for Spring 2025. These students, who were enrolled in 12 or more credits at BSC while still in high school, achieved this distinction.

"We are incredibly proud of the high school students who earned a place on the BSC President's Honor Roll through our dual credit and early entry programs this spring. Their academic achievement reflects a strong commitment to learning and a remarkable ability to balance college-level coursework while still in high school. These students are getting a head start on their future, and we're honored to be part of their journey," says BSC Interim President Dan Leingang.

The Dual Credit/Early Entry program allows high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to take college courses that fulfill both high school graduation requirements and provide college credit. To qualify for the President's Honor Roll, students must maintain at least a 3.50 GPA on a 4.00 scale while enrolled in at least 12 semester credits at BSC. Students with 12 or more semester credits are considered full-time BSC students.

In Spring 2025, over 1,545 high school students began their college careers at BSC by enrolling in Dual Credit/Early Entry classes. For more information about the program, visit bismarckstate.edu/FastTrack.
