Welcome From President Knowlton

Welcome to Dakota State University. Dakota State University provides students with an exciting, supportive and challenging educational experience. It is truly a unique university where students are surrounded by a technology rich environment and a faculty and staff that care about the success of our students. DSU has been recognized regionally and nationally as a leader in the integration of technology in the learning experiences of all our students. In every area of study you will find that your learning is enhanced by this access to information. Whether you are interested in working with computers, teaching, or developing and managing a business, in our new knowledge and information based economy your ability to access, organize, analyze and present information becomes a key to success.

At DSU we are dedicated to providing students with an "Ecology of Learning" that will guarantee students that their education has prepared them for this new world. Students who explore our websites or visit our campus will realize that DSU has created an environment that combines a very personal approach with a high tech environment. In the written evaluation following a recent visit to the campus, one student stated, "When I first came, I didn't really think I would attend DSU, but now it is one of my top choices ." I extend my personal invitation to learn more about the Dakota State University experience. I am confident that you will soon understand that student learning and success is our #1 priority.
