        Advancing Students Toward Education and Employment Program (ASTEP) is a 2 to 3-year transition and postsecondary education program for students with intellectual disabilities (ID). ASTEP is located on the campus of Minot State University in collaboration with the satellite Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) campus located at MSU.
