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.
VS
Dakota Wesleyan University
Dakota Wesleyan University, founded in 1885 and affiliated with the United Methodist Church, is a small liberal arts university whose business and education programs have built solid regional reputations relative to the school's modest overall enrollment. The university's McGovern Library of History and Political Science honors South Dakota native and former US Senator and presidential candidate George McGovern, who briefly taught at the university, giving Dakota Wesleyan a distinctive connection to a significant figure in American political history. The university's small size and its Mitchell, South Dakota campus give it a close-knit religious community distinct from the state's larger public institutions, and Dakota Wesleyan's continued Methodist affiliation shapes aspects of campus culture. The university's combination of its Methodist heritage and its distinctive connection to George McGovern's political legacy has made Dakota Wesleyan a notable smaller private college choice within South Dakota.
