I love the Industrial Automation program at BSC. When I picked it, I didn’t know how to do anything electrical. I have learned so much so quickly—one week I didn’t know anything, the next week I’m writing logic. The hands-on learning and internship has given me a head start on experience for employment. It’s been a -Seth Fjeldahl, Berthold, ND, Industrial Automation great program and experience.
The Fast Track program at BSC encompasses the non-traditional ways students may have earned college credit, including:
