Two North Dakota colleges to revive Governor's School courses for high-achieving students

(Bismarck, ND) -- After a four-year hiatus, the North Dakota Governor's School has returned for high school students in the state.

It's a four-week residential program that allows North Dakota high school students who have excelled in academics to further engage their studies in certain fields, such as science, technology, and mathematics. It will alternate between the University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University each summer. NDSU will focus on the STEM pathways, while UND will focus on health sciences, education, and mental health.

The first session is set to be held at NDSU in the summer of 2024.
