This agreement means new graduate students from member states who attend classes on the Mines campus can save close to $6,000 annually. SD Mines offers 14 master of science degrees and nine doctoral degrees in subjects ranging from biomedical engineering to physics and mining engineering. Interested students can review course offerings and learn more at the SD Mines Graduate Education webpage. The university also offers three online engineering graduate programs that are consistently ranked among the best in the nation. Distance education programs are not part of the new agreement — but Mines online programs still offer an affordable option for many students. According to the WICHE website, this agreement is part of the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) that allows master’s, graduate certificate and doctoral students who are residents of WICHE member states to enroll in 400+ graduate programs at some 60 public institutions outside of their home state and pay resident tuition. In fall 2017, 1,500+ students enrolled through WRGP and saved $24.1 million in tuition. “Our WICHE membership markets our programs to a wide variety of applicants looking for graduate school and encourages them to consider SD Mines. It also provides incentives for western students who earned an undergraduate degree at SD Mines to stay for graduate school and continue their positive economic impact on the state,” says Maribeth Price. Ph.D., dean of graduate education at SD Mines. The 16-member states in WICHE are spread across the American West. They are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, U.S. Pacific Territories and Freely Associated States, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. finding the right job is easier than you think August 20, 2019 • Page 11 HERE’S myCARD!
