Invent Tomorrow
At the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology—in small, interactive classes and within state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories—you’ll discover
more than 2,100 students eagerly collaborating with more than 150 outstanding faculty members on engineering and scientific issues of critical importance to South Dakota, the nation, and the world. In fact the Student Faculty Ratio is less than 14 students per faculty member.
Ask around within industry and academics. We are proud of our national reputation for excellence in engineering, the sciences, and computer technology. It's what we do best. And if value is what you're looking for ... we've been ranked one of America’s 100 Best College Buys for ten consecutive years.
But don't just take our word for it. The best way to learn more about our dynamic, talented, residential learning community and our passion for inventing a better tomorrow is to visit our beautiful campus in Rapid City—a regional economic and cultural center located in between the historic South Dakota Badlands and the magnificent wilderness of the Black Hills National Forest, home to Mount Rushmore.
