ABERDEEN, S.D. – Northern State University has ranked among the top colleges in South Dakota for affordability.
That’s according to University HQ’s list of the Most Affordable Colleges and Universities by State, which recognized two of the most affordable colleges in each state in the U.S. For South Dakota, those two educational institutions are Northern and National American University-Ellsworth AFB Extension.
“We work hard to make college affordable for our students, and we’re honored to be acknowledged for that,” said NSU President Dr. Tim Downs. “Overall our goal is to provide our students an enhanced educational experience, and affordability is part of that, along with outstanding academics and extracurricular opportunities.”
