It gave me my foundation for my bachelor's degree and only 3/67 of my credits didn't transfer to an out of state university. Do what the teacher's ask and what is expected of you. Don't overlook this school. -Adult learner

I have had a Great time attending. Some people are just not very bright, or they don't understand how the system works and will not ask for assistance. Do a little research, ask a few questions and you will be just fine.

Do NOT get a Business Administration degree here. Got mine a few years ago because I didn't know better and now I work a job that doesn't require a degree because this degree didn't help whatsoever in getting a job. I would even say to NOT get any Business related degree from this school. Go to a 4 year if you want to do that. I have no doubt that this school is good for Technical degrees and even have a few friends who have pretty good jobs from getting those types of degrees here, and If i could go back in time I would've got my Computer Networking degree or something similar.

Do not try make this place your first school!! ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!! Its a waste of time the teachers aren't worth even talking to. Just save your time and money going else where.

For starters this school has a horrible graduation rate 1 in 3. That is a 33.3% success rate. I was in the successful student population, and graduated with honors. As I began looking into what I could do to further my education, I found out that most of the credits STI offers aren't transferable to even state colleges. Fortunately, USF designed a program tailored to this major short falling of the SD board of regents. I now have graduated from both institutions and needed official transcripts for my job. Not only does STI not offer the convenience of getting a transcript same day, they also make you pay for it. At USF I walked in and out with a transcript and no fee - that is service. You'd think that after receiving thousands of dollars for tuition STI would be able to print you a piece of paper for no charge. Very disappointed with this school, I would caution anyone considering attending.

Good way to get a quick degree or certification.

Great school, gives enough education to find a good job, always up to date with the latest technology.

The childcare center here is terrible. The director, Tami, was unwilling to accommodate for my son with special needs. I had to take him to a much more expensive daycare that, as a student, I could not afford. Throughout my enrollment at STI, I was not only stressed about focusing on school, being a mom, and working but also struggled financially as a result of this. When I contacted Tracy Noldner, the Executive Director of Student Affairs to formally complain, my concerns were ignored. Because I had already went through the motions of getting enrolled, approved for financial aid and testing out of all of my generals there, I reluctantly stayed until I graduated (miraculously with a 4.0 GPA I will add,) because I didn't want to have to go through that whole process again somewhere else. If you have children I would absolutely not recommend attending here while Tami remains the director of their childcare center. That woman should not be in charge of children. She was rude and inflexible, and if she treats adults this way I don't even want to know how she treats children who are still developing. In regards to the program, I attended for Media Design Technology. I absolutely loved the instructors. They were great and willing to help in any way they could. However, two years is not enough time to cram in everything I needed to learn in order to be successful in this field. I ended up self-teaching myself a lot of things on YouTube and through online content that was completely free. If you're going to seek a higher education for a career such as Media Design/Graphic Design, I would suggest finding a 4 year program so you can get the most out of your money and hopefully find a better job as a result.
