University of South Dakota Reviews

"I have a great job and a young family at home. I feel as though the pros of this graduate program are that I am able to do the course work after the kids have gone to bed as I have said from the very beginning that I won't sacrifice time with my family for my school work and I have enjoyed the flexibility in the program as I have spent a great deal of late evenings working on my courses. The cons are that I spend a lot of time on the computer typing papers and would very much enjoy and appreciate some hands on experiences.Read Less"

"The addiction study program was very helpful. The teachers are very knowledgable and there are a lot of hands on experiences that enhance learning opportunities."

"The University of South Dakota provided me the foundation to be successful in my career. USD is great school and would encourage anyone looking for a school with strong academic program coupled with a traditional university experience to look at USD. GO YOTES!!"

"I love history, and wanted to pursue it as a career. Once I received my degree, I discovered it was not enough to become a teacher, contrary to what I had been told by my advisers, and career placement services simply told me, "There's nothing we can do for you." They didn't even try! Not even the fact of a graduate degree has helped me. I enjoyed my classes and learning, but now I make less than a janitor and struggle daily with debt."

"The graduate program is excellent in making quality Physician Assistants. However, I do feel the program is a little expensive considering the area in which we live in."

"At USD u have alot of one on one time with the professors in the art department which is awesome, however the university as a whole doesn't get the art department enough credit for the amazing professors."

"In a safe rural area, with a cultural-competence focus although the area itself lacks much diversity and cultural appeal. Finacially affordable and support from the state, however several courses were lacking in quality and did not seem graduate level. Numerous student presentations instead of lecturing. Lack of social outlets makes it easy to focus on studies as the area is quite isolated."

"The University of South Dakota is not only an extremely affordable university, but it is of high value. I am earning a high-quality education from this institution and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially for graduate school."

"From this point of view that University of south Dakota is very cheap and affordable, students do not have to be worry about financial issues. But it is located in a very small town ( rural area) and it's difficult for international student because there is no transportation in the town or for interstate traveling . Overall, if you are not an international student who wants to pursue his/her interest in a very safe campus with spending a reasonable cost of education and accommodation, I would suggest USD to you!Read Less"

"My graduate program is entirely online, so it is really easy to manage my course load with my lifestyle. The program is very affordable and the professors have been excellent."

"Poor ratings reflect the industry more than the school. America is swimming in lawyers, and nobody tells the law students until the job search is right around the corner. Nonetheless, if you want to practice law in South Dakota, attend the University of South Dakota, because the connections and practical knowledge of South Dakota law make the difference."

"I have only been here for a semester. If you enjoy living in a small area, this would be a great place to live. Not much of a college town, but there are other nearby towns that provide more. The graduate school itself is very accessible, providing both online and classroom classes. Also if you need to work a job, this program allows you too."
