A recent report by Forbes announced that Sioux Falls is ranked number one in the nation as the best small city for business and careers. This very city is found in the core of USF’s name and the heart of USF’s physical location. It’s this dynamic relationship with a thriving business and career city that is a great advantage for USF students and graduates.

- 98 percent were either employed or attending graduate or professional school within six months of graduation
