Dickinson State provides a range of associate, bachelor's, and selected graduate-level options, with academic offerings in areas such as business, education, health-related fields, liberal arts, and applied sciences.

For CLEP and transfer credit, Dickinson State University participates in the broader practice of accepting prior learning and exam-based credit where university policy allows. Students should expect credit decisions to depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program. Because policies can change, applicants should confirm current transfer and CLEP rules directly with the university before relying on them for degree planning.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on DSU's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. Dickinson State University transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
