Address from the Dean


Welcome to the Graduate School!

Now is an exciting time for graduate education at South Dakota State University! The campus is currently upgrading many research laboratories and classrooms as well as building many world-class research and teaching facilities! Once enrolled you will find yourself not only in state-of-the-art facilities but living in a dynamic intellectual environment as well. I invite you to see for yourself the exciting changes taking place on campus.

Exciting research abounds at SDSU! As a Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Research University with high research activity, graduate education programs are provided by six academic colleges with outstanding opportunities for your career development.

SDSU is a land grant institution with a proud tradition of offering a variety of excellent graduate programs.
