Education Abroad

At South Dakota Mines, we believe in the power of exchange and strive to develop cross-cultural connections. International experience through education abroad is a great way to gain a broader world view and global working experience.

Maria Klawe, a contributor for Forbes Magazine, said it best: "International experience is vital for STEM students, who will be creating technologies that may impact the entire world. U.S. scientists and engineers also must be able to collaborate on multicultural, international teams in order to be successful in their careers and to tackle global challenges together."

Why we need more STEM students to study abroad?
