About
There’s nothing ordinary about Dakota State University. And that’s just the way we like it. Many wouldn’t expect DSU, a small college of the plains of South Dakota, to be a rising national leader in education and cyber. That’s fine. Us Trojans take pride in how different we are. As a united front, our Trojans remain on an upward trajectory into the future. We’re growing at a fast pace, expanding our campus, and immersing ourselves in the most advanced and innovative technologies. We want you to rise with us. Thirty-five programs infused with technology, and a university placement rate of 99%. It’s no wonder students love DSU!
