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.

Majors & Degrees

Higbie Hall

Higbie Hall was built in 1965 in honor of former president Edgar C. Higbie. Higbie was president of DSU from 1920–1931 and is credited for transitioning the Normal school to the Teacher’s College program of study. He was a formative influence on DSU’s history. Today Higbie houses first year students. While there is no air conditioning in each room, there is air conditioning in the hallways.
