Dickinson State University

Since achieving full university status in 1987, Dickinson State University has made a goal of becoming one of the premier postsecondary institutions in the Great Plains. With a progressive mindset, numerous academic opportunities, and an enriching student life, it seems that DSU is well on its way toward this goal. The university is comprised of two colleges: the College of Education, Business, and Applied Sciences, and the College of Arts and Sciences. These colleges combine for about a dozen academic departments and over 75 concentrations. Though there are many subjects to choose from, many DSU students concentrate in education and agriculture. In line with its progressive attitude, Dickinson State embraces multiculturalism in its student body. The Cultural Diversity Tuition Waver allows students of historically underrepresented ethnicities to get a significant discount, up to full tuition. Similarly, the Global Awareness Tuition Waiver assists international students with tuition fees. DSU’s Strom Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation works to promote local business growth. Website creation, marketing plans and research, and project management are among the services that the Strom Center offers. The Center helps to stimulate the local economy, and connects Dickinson State with North Dakota businesses.
