ASSOCIATE DEGREES
Global Equine Academy has contracted with Dickinson State University to meet the needs of our students, who want to get an associates degree and to receive government financial aid. DSU is accredited through North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), which is the most widely accepted accreditation for colleges. DSU is approved to offer federal financial aid. If a school does not offer federal financial aid they are probably not accredited.
