South Dakota State University Reviews

"The pros of this program is its ability to accept diversified students from different majors and professions. The con is that it is a newer program. However this means the program is more flexible. I cannot wait to get my masters in Architecture."

"I feel like this school has an amazing graduate program. I am learning a lot, my professors are accessible and I feel like I am getting a quality education."

"The benefit of the online environment is my ability to continue the program while working full time. It stretches my brain and requires critical thinking. There is no slacking off in this program!"

"Great teachers, good curriculum. Not much for social life or community involvement. Diversity of campus was limited and not many opportunities to go out into the field for hands on experience. But overall classes and teachers were excellent and had wonderful experience"

"I like that the education program is online and can be done at my pace."

"The graduate program at South Dakota State University (SDSU) has given me more real world experience in one year than my undergraduate gave me in four years. As a part of the Health and Nutritional Sciences department I have been able to chose and conduct my own research, and have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to present and network at national presentations. An advantage of SDSU is that the faculty members are very supportive and do their best to make sure you are on the right track. The community of Brookings itself is fairly small, but I find that it is close enough to larger cities that you can always find something to do.Read Less"

"My graduate program is online which allows me to complete the program in my home. They also use the opportunity to offer classes from other universities that may not have enough solely at the university but collectively there is enough interest to offer the class. The school lacks the mathematics methods courses I would have liked to take to better my practice of teaching mathematics."

"The pros are that the advisers and professors are accessible when you need help. The cons would be there's no transportation but your own and it is now mostly a walking campus."
