Government & Corporate Partners
Dakota State University is committed to advancing effective government and corporate partnerships through sustained collaboration with educational, public, governmental, and private-sector organizations. These partnerships are intentionally developed to support faculty scholarship, student learning, and the broader public interest.
Current partnerships
Dakota State University recognizes prior learning earned through the National Cryptologic University. Military and civilian employees may transfer up to 56 NCU credits toward Dakota State’s online bachelor’s degree in Cyber Operations, allowing professional training to count toward degree completion.
Established in 2015 as the first partnership of its kind between a public university and NCU, the fully online program supports degree completion from any location and is well suited to military personnel.
This articulation agreement also supports accelerated completion of select undergraduate and graduate programs, including Cyber Operations and Computer Science, by applying previously earned knowledge and experience.
The CyberHealth Strategic Alliance will drive cyberhealth innovation and research and create workforce and economic development for South Dakota.
