Undergraduate Education
Whether you seek rough-and-tumble outdoor environments or strategic corporate decision-making, as a mining engineer your expertise will be demanded across the globe.
Students have trekked from upstate New York to underground Missouri to South America, South Africa, Australia, and beyond interning for the leading names in industry – all before graduation.
In fact, those very companies from all sectors nationwide not only offer paid competitive internships, they shape our curriculum on an advisory board that ensures a South Dakota Mines education keeps pace with industry demands. That competitive edge led to 100% placement for last year’s graduates at employers like Kiewit, Barrick Gold, Freeport-McMoRan.
