Welcome to South Dakota State University!

Graduate enrollment at SDSU has shown significant growth over the past few years both in total numbers and distribution among programs. Along with our established Ph.D. programs in Agronomy, Animal Science, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Nursing, and Sociology, SDSU now offers Ph.D. degrees in Computational Science & Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Geospatial Science & Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Wildlife &  Fisheries Sciences. 

SDSU has more than thirty Masters programs representing disciplines in agriculture, biology, engineering, humanities, health sciences, education, natural sciences and social sciences which are designed to meet contemporary needs; graduate program development has been carefully planned to meet the needs of students and to play a key role in economic development and stewardship of natural resources in South Dakota.

The recent addition of many research-oriented faculty has strengthened our programs by providing opportunities for graduate student research and related creative activities. Faculty success in acquiring extramural funding to provide support for research and scholarly activities has enhanced opportunities for graduate study throughout the university.
