(Undated) — South Dakota’s technical colleges are experiencing a five-year high in student enrollment. Over seven-thousand students are enrolled in one of the state’s four technical colleges this fall semester. The increase is bolstered by a strong first-year class and high retention rates with returning students. The college offers programs related to healthcare, building trades, public safety, and manufacturing. The technical college system includes Lake Area Technical College in Watertown, Mitchell Technical College in Mitchell, Southeast Technical College in Sioux Falls and Western Dakota Technical College in Rapid City.
