Dakota College at Bottineau

Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) is a two-year public institution of higher education in Bottineau, North Dakota.

Founded in 1906 as a forestry school, today DCB offers associate's degrees in Business, Computer Technology/Information Technology, Natural Resources, Medical/Allied Health, and Education. It offers Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees in these fields, which are highly vocationally-oriented degrees designed to enable the recipient to find employment after receiving the AAS degree.

Additionally, DCB offers 2-year Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees in the aforementioned fields, with a large general education requirement for degree completion; these AA and AS degrees are transferable to bachelor's degree programs at a 4-year college or university. Diploma, certificate, and certificate of completion programs are also offered, which require fewer credits completed than that required for an associate's degree.

Athletics

DCB's varsity athletic teams compete as the Lumberjacks (men's teams) and Ladyjacks (women's teams). DCB is part of the Mon-Dak Athletic Conference as part of the NJCAA. The Dakota College at Bottineau Lumberjacks Ice Hockey men's ice hockey team has won the NJCAA National Championship eight times.

In 1968 the school then was affiliated with North Dakota State University and changed its name to North Dakota State University-Bottineau Branch. In 1996 the school became affiliated with Minot State University, becoming Minot State University-Bottineau Campus. It received its present name on August 1, 2009.^[1]
