Admissions Office Records
SDSU-Archives UA 020 · Records · 1886-2013

The Admissions Office Records document the student recruitment, enrollment procedures, and promotional activities of South Dakota State University (SDSU) from the late 19th century through the early 21st century. The materials reflect the office’s evolving role in attracting prospective students, facilitating application and admission processes, and promoting the university's academic and social environment.

This collection offers a view of how SDSU developed and communicated its institutional identity over time. From early bulletins issued by the South Dakota Agricultural College to modern recruitment media, the records show shifts in marketing strategies, outreach to diverse student populations, and growing emphasis on personalized admissions experiences. They are a valuable resource for researchers studying higher education marketing, enrollment trends, and student engagement in a land-grant university context.
