Paying for college in South Dakota

Leaving the state doesn't have to mean full out-of-state tuition. South Dakota residents are covered by a regional tuition exchange at public colleges in other member states.

• Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)

  At participating colleges in other member states, South Dakota residents pay no more than 150% of in-state tuition. Each school sets its own requirements, often a GPA minimum, and some majors are left out.
