Community

At Live outdoor music performance at Bismarck State College with three musicians playing guitars and singing on stage, as an audience watches from seated tables.BSC we believe that an important part of your college education happens when class isn’t in session. BSC hosts a wide array of enrichment courses, concerts, readings, art exhibits and plays on campus. You can work out or catch a game at the BSC Aquatic Center and the MDU Resources Community Bowl -- two venues that enrich campus life.
 
Even more opportunities for fun can be found in the community. Blocks from campus is a vibrant downtown where restaurants and music venues segue to the mall, events center and outdoor recreation found in the many parks, trails and attractions along the beautiful Missouri River. From concerts to festivals, from downhill skiing to canoeing, the Bismarck Mandan communities boast outstanding recreational and entertainment opportunities. 

Art Galleries


A young girl with a braid stands quietly in front of two large photographs of young Muay Thai boxers displayed on a gallery wall. The girl appears contemplative, her hands clasped behind her back as she observes the images.
BSC has two Art Galleries to explore that provide the community with convenient locations to appreciate the arts. Celebrate the work of artists from all over the world, and don't miss the next reception!

Community Events

BSC 's rich and varied array of opportunities goes beyond traditional education to bring our students and community together to explore, learn and grow. Four young women walk joyfully down a downtown sidewalk, each carrying multiple shopping bags and laughing together. The scene captures a lively and social atmosphere in a local retail district.
