Technology, Art, and Design
The Department of Technology, Art and Design offers a variety of programs that span the application of technology, art and design in response to a range of human wants and needs. Courses nurture the development of individual creative expression, critical thinking and problem solving skills. Degree programs foster the development of knowledge and skills to design and develop creative solutions that address operations and future needs in an array of cultural, design, business, technological and industrial settings.
The department offers a nationally accredited* Bachelor of Science program in Engineering Technology, with specializations in Construction Management and Manufacturing Management. Along with the associated Bachelor of Applied Science programs in Applied Engineering and Technology Management, these degree options offer both four-year and transfer students the opportunity to prepare for leadership roles in a wide range of technologically based enterprises including but not limited to the fields of construction, energy, manufacturing and sustainability.
Transfer students have the option to enroll in either the Bachelor of Applied Science program in Applied Engineering or Technology Management. Both degrees are offered as “2 + 2” programs online or on campus for working professionals who have either an Associate of Science degree, Associate of Applied Science degree, diploma or certificate and wish to complete a Bachelor’s degree.
The Bachelor of Science in Art and Design offers students a unique and exciting opportunity to pursue careers that demand excellence in a combination of technical, creative, and artistic capabilities. Students can pursue specializations in either Studio Arts or Digital and Exhibit Design. All Art and Design students benefit from a portfolio review process, a graduation requirement that offers them the opportunity to present their professional portfolios to leaders in their industries from across the nation. Students transferring from a MnSCU Community and/or Technical College with an Associate degree in a related design field may be eligible for articulated transfer into the Design Technology program.
The Department of Technology, Art and Design offers five exhibition spaces that present local, regional, national and international exhibits. The gallery program also maintains permanent collections in ceramics and prints.
*The BS in Engineering Technology is accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (http://atmae.org).

Applied Engineering, B.A.S. major
The Applied Engineering Program is designed to prepare individuals to work in a variety of applied engineering career paths in business or industry. The program is designed specifically for individuals who typically possess a two-year technical degree and are interested in advancing their professional career. The program is a “2+2” degree that permits students to apply their 2 year technical degree credits toward a baccalaureate degree. Coupled with a two-year technical degree providing a focused foundation, students will complete junior- and senior-level courses covering a broad range of applied engineering concepts and applications. This breadth will provide maximum flexibility for graduates to pursue diverse employment opportunities. Completion of the degree is available through a web-based distance delivery format. Students should work closely with an advisor to obtain program and course selection information.
Note: Transfer students must take a minimum of 30 semester credits from Bemidji State University. Forty (40) upper division semester credits are also required for graduation.
