History

Established in 1883.

Before South Dakota had even gained statehood, the people of the Black Hills of Dakota Territory demonstrated a high regard for education and began advocating for a university in the Black Hills. Dakota Territorial Normal School was founded in 1883. Four-year degrees were added in the 1920s, and in 1941 the school was renamed Black Hills Teachers College. Graduate courses followed in 1953 and by 1964 there was a new designation: Black Hills State College. Over the next several decades, the college continued to grow in strength and stature. In 1989, the campus was designated as a university to reflect the depth and breadth of the academic offerings. Today, Black Hills State University is home to an increasing population of nearly 4,000 students with three colleges: Arts and Sciences, Business and Technology, and Education. BHSU is recognized as an innovative, quality institution of higher learning.
