“I came to Northern with a vision to have a good education, but I did not have a clear idea of what I should study. Different faculty members and teachers guided me and helped me decide what I wanted to do, which was study business. Since coming to Northern I have made many connections within the business community and I have gained the confidence needed to succeed."

"Northern has led me to job and internship opportunities in and outside of South Dakota. I would have never known much about CliftonLarsenAllen if it weren’t for NSU and my professors encouraging me to explore what is out there for me. CLA is a public accounting firm that has locations throughout the U.S. and I’m so excited to start my internship in St. Cloud, Minn., with them in January!"

“The opportunities that I’ve gotten at Northern are ones that you just can’t find at bigger schools and bigger communities because I have a pretty close relationship with a lot of my professors and advisors, and that’s helped me get connections in the business community in Aberdeen. This has given me internship and business opportunities that I otherwise don’t think I could’ve gotten in a big school.”
