Black Hills State University
Black Hills State University, founded in 1883, has built solid education and business programs, and its location in Spearfish, South Dakota, in the heart of the scenic Black Hills region, gives the university's outdoor recreation and geology programs direct access to significant natural terrain. The university's proximity to Mount Rushmore, the Homestake Gold Mine, and other significant regional landmarks gives BHSU's tourism and hospitality management programs practical, locally relevant career preparation tied to the region's substantial tourism economy. Black Hills State's relatively small size and its scenic western South Dakota setting have made it a consistent choice for students in that part of the state seeking a public university education closer to home than the state's larger eastern institutions. The university's combination of its Black Hills regional setting and its tourism-industry-connected academic programs has made BHSU a distinctive regional public university within South Dakota's higher education system.
VS
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology
South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, founded in 1885, is one of the most specialized and academically rigorous STEM-focused public universities in the country, with a curriculum concentrated almost entirely on engineering, mining, and applied physical sciences. The university's location in Rapid City, near both the historic Homestake Gold Mine and the Black Hills' significant mineral deposits, reflects the school's founding-era mission training engineers for the region's mining industry, a focus the university has maintained even as its programs have broadened into aerospace and other engineering fields. The school's graduates command some of the highest average starting salaries of any public university in the country, reflecting the strong industry demand for its narrowly focused, deeply technical engineering degrees. The university's combination of its founding-era mining engineering focus and its consistently strong graduate salary outcomes has made South Dakota Mines a distinctive and highly regarded specialized public university within the state's higher education system.
