More than just outstanding graduate programs.
As a graduate student at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, you’ll enjoy all the advantages you expect from one of the nation’s premier engineering and science schools: an intense and exhilarating learning environment, outstanding programs leading to Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees, a distinguished faculty, cutting-edge research initiatives, state-of-the-art laboratories, and excellent facilities.
But you’ll also discover something else: a small, friendly, unique learning community that is like no other.
Exactly how big can small be?
If this sounds like the kind of graduate school you're looking for, we're looking for you.
Dear Students and Colleagues:

- Registration for the Fall semester began on April 7. Please go to WebAdvisor to register before May 9. Please contact the Graduate office if you have any questions regarding registration. If you know you are not attending in the Fall semester, please contact us ASAP.
Graduation is May 10th!
A survey to confirm your graduation status has been e-mailed to all prospective graduates. If you did not receive an e-mail form and you will be graduating in May, please contact the Graduate Education Office ASAP. The deadline to return forms back to the graduate office is April 7th.
The graduation eligibility policy has been revised. Please contact the Graduate Education Office if you are planning on participating in the May ceremony before your degree requirements are met.
- Two credits will be required for summer 2008 GTA/GRA eligibility. By carrying two credits, graduate students will also be eligible for reduced tuition in the summer semester.
Sincerely,
Dr. John Helsdon
Dean, Graduate Education
