Williston State College (WSC) is a public community college in Williston, North Dakota. It is part of the North Dakota University System. Founded in 1961, WSC provides general, vocational, and technical education. For most of its history the college has worked in close connection with the University of North Dakota. It was originally the University of North Dakota-Williston (UND-W).
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable two-year community college in western North Dakota — at just $7,164/year average net price and a median graduation debt of only $6,500, the financial picture is genuinely low-risk. Median earnings of $45,800 a decade out are reasonable for a community college, though you should think carefully about your transfer or career path, since WSC's small enrollment of 686 students means limited program variety and campus resources.
