Our founding fathers would likely be astonished by the turn of events that led to the emergence of Black Hills State University as a leader in higher education. The sincere dedication of faculty and staff and the continuing desire to learn by our students has created an entity that is increasingly recognized as an innovative, high quality institution of higher learning throughout the state, the greater Black Hills region, and the nation.
Throughout the years, BHSU leaders have been visionary in anticipating the changing needs of our future students and the state of South Dakota. As BHSU moves decisively into the 21st Century, our original mission of service to South Dakota and the provision of a quality education remain intact. BHSU continues to graduate students with the critical thinking skills needed to be leaders in the information age and the global economy.
Our students are pursuing degrees in areas that didn’t even exist when BHSU was founded. Our research funding has increased to more than $5.3 million last year. We are proud of the institution, our history, and our legacy of dedicated faculty, staff , and students, and we look forward to our future as we continue in our ongoing quest to transform lives.
