Dakota State University students walking around campus

Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

What?
RING: Free Cybersecurity Curriculum – Training, Demonstrations, and Resources

What is RING?
RING (Regions Investing in the Next Generation) is a cybersecurity course and online resources that offers interesting and engaging content specifically for students and schools without an existing cybersecurity program. 
There are three different ways to utilize RING:

  1. External Instruction – Students learn cybersecurity from their school teachers with access to RING content
  2. Centralized Instruction – Seasoned RING teachers teach target demographic students in a proven virtual experience. 
  3. Educational Partners – Institutional Partners provide meaningful RING experiences to local area students.

Students can receive high school credit for RING in participating states.
