As one of the benefits of being a smaller institution, The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology has a relatively simple admissions process. Applications are reviewed and acceptance decisions are made within two to three weeks of receipt of the application and required materials.

Applications from U.S. residents should be completed 90 days prior to the start of the semester. Applications from international students should be completed by March 15 for fall applicants and August 1 for spring applicants.  Applications will be accepted after these dates, but cannot be guaranteed timely admittance.

All individuals who have graduated from institutions with accredited engineering and science curricula are encouraged to apply.

The GRE test is required for application to some graduate programs at the School of Mines. See individual program requirements for further details. For more information regarding the GRE test, go to www.ets.org/gre. Our school code is 6652.

For international students, a minimum score of 520 on the TOEFL is required (560 for admission without additional English tutoring).
