The North Dakota Geographiic Alliance offers five one-semester hour graduate-level professional development workshops and one two-semester hour graduate-level professional development workshop. Graduate credit may be earned from the enrollee's choice of Minot State University, North Dakota State University, or the University of North Dakota. All workshops are available with a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading option and with a letter grade grading option (there are some assignment differences depending on the grade option selected). Workshops taken through Minot State University and North Dakota State University workshops will have an Education prefix while workshops taken through the University of North Dakota will have a Geography prefix.
