1. Verification. Students must complete the verification form before applying for admission. Verification may allow you to begin taking energy classes without the math assessment for the program. Verification also helps us to better assist you in reaching your educational goals.
This form can be found at bscmilitaryonline/course/verification.
The math assessment requirements for energy classes are as follows:
- ACT score of 16 or higher in math (no more than 5 years old). Nuclear Power Technology is an ACT score of 19 or higher.
- COMPASS score of 41 or higher on the pre-algebra portion (no more than 3 years old). Nuclear Power Technology is a COMPASS score of 51 or higher on the algebra portion.
- ACCUPLACER score of 44 or higher on the elementary algebra portion (no more than 3 years old). Nuclear Power Technology is an ACCUPLACER score of 109 or higher on the elementary algebra portion.
- Completion of previous college math (Beginning Algebra or above) also meets the program entrance requirements. After BSC receives your college transcript, we will review the math course and let you know if it meets the requirement.

Bismarck State College awards credit for Military Training Programs as outlined by the American Council on Education (ACE). A maximum of 45 semester hours of non-traditional college credit (e.g., AP, CLEP, military training, BSC challenge test credit, portfolio development, prior learning, and courses covered under high school articulation agreements) may be applied to an associate's degree, diploma, or certificate at BSC.
