The University's east campus gateway.

Founded in 1881 as the first teacher education institution in the Dakota Territories, Dakota State University is a public, mission-driven institution.  Today, it is South Dakota’s designated information technology university and is a leader in integrating this technology into the academic disciplines of its curriculum.  Academic rigor and the infusion of information technology into teaching, research, and creative activity are at the heart of the university’s work.

This site contains Dakota State University’s Systems Portfolio, an electronic log of the University’s activities, organized by the nine key processes of the Academic Quality

Dr. Doug Knowlton, DSU's 21st President

This electronic portfolio demonstrates the context in which Dakota State University implements each of these nine categories, the processes that the College uses to implement the things we do, the results achieved from our efforts, and the improvements that we have made and plan to make based on these results.   Each section of the portfolio responds to specific questions centered on one of the AQIP categories, which are shown in the menu column on the left of this page.
