MAYVILLE (AP) - College students in Devils Lake and Bemidji, Minn., will be able to pursue a degree from Mayville State University this fall.

Mayville State has established agreements with Lake Region State College in Devils Lake and Northwest Technical College in Bemidji that allow students to earn a four-year MSU degree at the two-year colleges.

Mayville State will use adjunct faculty, interactive video and the Internet to teach the students.

"It's designed for the place-bound student," said Gene Levitt, chairman of the MSU business division.

" It's NOT designed for the "place-bound student", but really to keep the college open and from going on the chopping block. We need to close these smaller institutions of higher learning. North Dakota has way to many! "
