“I think I got a very educational experience that was applicable to my field of study. I enjoyed the steel erection class and the rough carpentry class the most. It has helped get the attention of numerous construction companies and they know the reputation of the degree from NDSCS so they know I will be able to do my job well. Classes are very specific to your degree and that gives you a lot of opportunities after graduation. It is also nice to have smaller class sizes and actually know your teachers.”
