South Dakota Mines Names Students to Spring 2025 Academic Recognition and Dean’s Lists

South Dakota Mines is celebrating academic excellence this spring, honoring 763 high-achieving students for their hard work and dedication. A total of 653 students earned a place on the Spring 2025 Dean's List, and 110 students were recognized on the Academic Recognition List.

The Dean’s List recognition is for full-time students while the Academic Recognition List is for part-time students.

"We often get to celebrate the success our students achieve during their time at South Dakota Mines, but the Dean's and Academic Recognition List are especially remarkable. The excellent grades these students earned while wrestling with a rigorous curriculum exceed all expectations of science and engineering students,” said Dr. Joe Dlugos, Mines dean of students. “Beyond congratulating these students, it is also important to thank the faculty for inspiring them, the staff for supporting them, and their family and friends for being with them every step of the way. Whether students on this list are graduating or returning for more academic success at South Dakota Mines next semester, we can't wait to see the impact they will continue to have."

To merit a spot on the Dean’s List, students must earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher for the semester. Full-time students must have earned a minimum of 12 credit hours for the term. To earn a place on the Academic Recognition List, part-time students must have earned between three and 11 credit hours that term in addition to a 3.5 GPA.
