What Dakota College at Bottineau does

Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) is a public two-year community college founded in 1906 as the North Dakota School of Forestry, headquartered in Bottineau, North Dakota, and operating as a member institution of the North Dakota University System (NDUS). It serves recent high school graduates, dual-credit LEAP high school students, healthcare career seekers, agriculture and horticulture students, military-affiliated learners, and a modest cohort of international students from countries including Canada, Slovakia, and Mexico, across four delivery locations in Bottineau, Minot, Valley City, and Rugby. The college offers 33 Career and Technical Education programs spanning Practical Nursing and Associate Degree Nursing (delivered via the Dakota Nursing Program consortium with peer campuses), Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Dental Hygiene, Paramedic Technology, Medical Assistant/Medical Coding/Medical Administrative Assistant, Agriculture Management and Technology (delivered through the North Dakota Agriculture Consortium with Lake Region State College and Williston State College), the state's only Photography program, Horticulture and Specialty Crops, Human Resource Management, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and a Pharmacy Technician track, plus Farm Business Management continuing education.

Instruction is delivered through on-campus classrooms at Bottineau and Minot (with classes co-located on the Minot State University campus), the DCB Online distance learning platform, and an Interactive Video Network (IVN) that extends real-time courses across consortium campuses; technology stack also includes Microsoft Office 365, and the college has deployed Oculus Go virtual reality headsets for NASA-tied STEM outreach. Business model combines tuition and fees for credit programs, state appropriations through NDUS and ND CTE, externally awarded grants (USDA NRCS, NCR-SARE, ND Natural Resources Trust, Farm Credit Services, BCBSND Caring Foundation, HEERF II, ND Department of Agriculture), and DCB Foundation scholarships and endowment distributions, with no private equity or venture ownership structures applicable. Strategic emphasis is on workforce-aligned CTE credentials, rural and non-traditional access, and consortium-based scale across the North Dakota public higher education system.
