DICKINSON (AP) - Dickinson State University and North Dakota State University have a new partnership.

The schools this week announced an engineering program that will allow students to complete their first two years in Dickinson before moving to Fargo.

Dickinson State President Richard McCallum says students are interested in the program and he says, "there is a buzz already going in the enrollment process."

NDSU President Joseph Chapman says it will provide new opportunities.

The program focuses on computer, electrical, industrial, and manufacturing engineering.
