Dakota State University students walking around campus

Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

SRI Awardees

The Undergraduate Student Mentored Research Initiative (SRI) Program allows students the opportunity to conduct research under the direction of a faculty member, giving them hands-on research experience at the undergraduate level. Projects may be initiated by either students or faculty. Both receive budgetary support to conduct these projects.

Each year, DSU selects a group of undergraduates to serve as leaders in research through the SRI awards.
