More than just outstanding graduate programs.
As a graduate student at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, you’ll enjoy all the advantages you expect from one of the nation’s premier engineering and science schools: an intense and exhilarating learning environment, outstanding programs leading to Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees, a distinguished faculty, cutting-edge research initiatives, state-of-the-art laboratories, and excellent facilities.
But you’ll also discover something else: a small, friendly, unique learning community that is like no other.
If this sounds like the kind of graduate school you're looking for, we're looking for you.
