BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck is offering four new programs in the fall of 2016, including one new four-year program.

School officials say the Higher Learning Commission of Chicago has approved a bachelor of science degree in environmental science and research. It will be taught at the college's new science and technology center.

School Vice President of Academic Affairs Lisa Azure says many tribal colleges offer bachelor's degrees in environmental science, but the United Tribes program is unique because of the research quotient.

New two-year associate of applied science degree programs will be offered in human and social services, information processing specialist and information technology.
