Student Life at DSU

From its founding in 1881 as Madison Normal School, Dakota State University has remained an enduring presence among educational institutions. As advancements in research and technology have evolved, DSU has adapted to meet the needs of the public, student body, and faculty. From founding to present, one aspect has remained: consistent emphasis on academic and personal excellence. Whether in a science lab or on a float in the Homecoming Day parade, DSU students have had the opportunity to grow socially and intellectually in a positive, nurturing environment.
