Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

Strategic Outreach that's Agile and Responsive

DSU-SOAR is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization affiliated with DSU, created to provide current and future workforce training needs for individuals, corporations, and government agencies.

As technology advances at lightning speed, businesses and organizations must keep their employees up-to-date on new and emerging technologies. By being innovative, nimble, and efficient, DSU-SOAR can offer solutions through non-credit bearing short courses, workshops, or seminars.

These complement the University’s for-credit programs, but are offered outside a traditional university format to customize clients’ needs in any field, including healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, or the financial industry.

Whether a client needs upskilling, reskilling, or a career change, DSU-SOAR can provide innovative options for workforce training, designed and customized to suit specific needs.

Let's get started.
