Dakota State University was founded in 1881 as a school for teacher education in the Dakota Territory. Our strong programs, Trojan pride, and innovative ways have allowed us to become one of the most technologically advanced campuses in the Midwest.
DSU provides learning that integrates technology and innovation to develop graduates ready to contribute to local, national, and global prosperity.
When you work at Dakota State, you become part of our Trojan family. We are caring, family-oriented, united, and inclusive. From training sessions to benefit packages, we strive to ensure our employees have what they need to succeed in their career – and their personal lives. Plus, being a part of a campus that is dedicated, driven, and dynamic means you’ll have optimal chances to excel in your career.
Transitioning to college life can be a big change for anyone. We also know as an international student you may need guidance in areas a domestic student does not. That's why we're here to help you every step of the way.
The Karl E. Mundt Library provides the resources and information for all your varied needs -- access to online articles and journals, books, ebooks, audiobooks, DVDs, video cameras, study space and a live online chat system for research help.
But it’s not just science. All of our majors and programs are infused with the latest technologies inside and outside of the classroom.
From flu shots to urgent care and fitness facilities, we take a special interest in making sure that students stay happy and healthy during their time at DSU.
Gaming. Intramural sports. Movie nights. Whatever you’re looking for to keep you busy, we have it right here on campus. Stroll over to the TC to play a round of pool. Sit back, relax with popcorn and enjoy your favorite movie. Go head to head in friendly competition with a sport you love. Connect with others, engage yourself, be part of the Trojan community.
As a DSU student, you’ll have access to the Madison Community Center, which is located on our campus and features:
DSU's campus is home to more than 35 student-run clubs. Build model rockets with the Space Club. Act out in the Theatre Club. Celebrate diversity by getting involved with groups like The Alliance (LBGTQ students and allies), the Native American Student Association, or the American Association of University Women.
A public university, we are governed by the South Dakota System Board of Regents and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
