    南達科他州留學(xué)及移民優(yōu)勢

    二、氣候條件
    South Dakota is perhaps best known for that most American of landmarks, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.Depicting four US presidents who were central to shaping the first 130 years of US history (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt), the gargantuan rock carving attracts nearly three million visitors a year.Other than the Memorial, this large but sparsely populated state is also known for its rugged natural beauty. The Black Hills, the low mountain range in which Mount Rushmore is located, the dramatic Badlands National Park, and Jewel Cave National Monument – one of the longest cave networks in the world, are some examples.
    Most of the state, however, is characterized by miles upon miles of isolated and epic plains – if you really want to get away from it all, there are few better places to do so than South Dakota.The state maintains a strong rural character, with much of its economy is still founded around agriculture. If you’re looking for large urban centers, therefore, you might be advised to look elsewhere.Around a quarter of state’s population live in Sioux Falls, which despite only being home to around 200,000 people is the state’s biggest city by far, and home to many of the its universities. However, many of South Dakota’s public universities are located in even smaller cities which will make Sioux Falls seem like Los Angeles in comparison.
    南達科他州最著名的美國的地標應(yīng)該是拉什莫爾山國家紀念碑。這幅巨大的石頭雕刻作品描繪了四位美國總統(tǒng)，他們是塑造美國歷史上130年歷史的核心人物(喬治·華盛頓、托馬斯·杰斐遜、亞伯拉罕·林肯和西奧多·羅斯福)，每年吸引近300萬游客。除了紀念碑之外，這個人口眾多但人口稀少的國家也因其崎嶇的自然風(fēng)光而聞名。布萊克山脈是拉什莫爾山所在的低矮的山脈，引人注目的荒地國家公園和寶石洞國家紀念碑是世界上最長的洞穴網(wǎng)絡(luò)之一，是一些例子。
    然而，大多數(shù)州的特點是綿延數(shù)英里的孤立和史詩般的平原——如果你真的想要遠離世俗，那么沒有比南達科他州更好的地方了。如果你正在尋找大型的城市中心，我們建議您去別處看看。約四分之一的州人口居住在蘇福爾斯，盡管這里只有大約20萬人口，是該州迄今為止最大的城市，也是該州許多大學(xué)的所在地。然而，許多南達科他州的公立大學(xué)都位于更小的城市，這使得蘇福爾斯看起來就像洛杉磯。
    三、南達科他州的頂尖大學(xué)
    No South Dakotan universities make the 2011/12 QS World University Rankings. However, these is no shortage of provision in the state, ranging from small private liberal arts colleges like Augustana College – considered to be one of the best of its kind in the Midwest, to the larger public system, which consists of South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota as well as some smaller institutions.The former is the larger of the two, playing host to 12,725 students. Located in the small town of Brookings, towards the east of the state, the university offers 175 fields of study, 29 Masters and 12 PhD programs. Agricultural research is one of the university’s main focuses.
    SDSU is currently working on a new five year strategic plan, which will be finalized in December 2012.
    The University of South of Dakota is the state’s oldest university, having been founded in 1862. The Vermillion (population 10,000) based university offers 132 undergraduate programs and 65 graduate programs. Its mission statement is: “To be the best small, public flagship university in the nation built upon a liberal arts foundation.”USD is home to the state’s only business, law and medical schools. In terms of research it focuses largely on health programs, but also has research centres which focus on oral history and Native American studies.
    在2011 -12 QS世界大學(xué)排名中并沒有南達科他州的大學(xué)。但是，南達科他州并不缺少頂尖的大學(xué)，例如像奧古斯塔納學(xué)院文理學(xué)院——被認為在中西部地區(qū)最好的大學(xué)，更大的公共系統(tǒng)由南達科塔州立大學(xué)和南達科他大學(xué)的以及一些規(guī)模較小的大學(xué)共同構(gòu)成。前者是兩者中較大的一個，學(xué)生人數(shù)為12725人。該大學(xué)位于美國東部的布魯金斯小鎮(zhèn)，擁有175個學(xué)科，29個碩士學(xué)位和12個博士學(xué)位。農(nóng)業(yè)研究是高校重點關(guān)注的問題之一。目前，南達科他州正在制定一個新的五年戰(zhàn)略計劃，該計劃將于2012年12月完成。南達科他州大學(xué)是該州最古老的大學(xué)，成立于1862年。該大學(xué)提供了132個本科項目和65個研究生項目。它的使命宣言是:“建立在一個文科基礎(chǔ)之上成為全國最好的小型公立旗艦大學(xué)?！盪SD是該州唯一的商業(yè)、法律和醫(yī)學(xué)院所在地。在研究方面，它主要關(guān)注于健康項目，但也有側(cè)重于口述歷史和美國本土研究的研究中心。
