Rating 3.9 out of 5 180 reviews
Overall, this college is clean and organized. The staff are friendly, and the opportunities provided go above and beyond. My experience so far has been great, and the communication presented has been amazing as well. The professors do a great job at teaching the courses in a way that allows you to learn as much as you can. I would like to see more degree options availiable in the future.
My overall experience with Western Dakota Technical College is outstanding. I really liked the amount of support I received from my professors. Each professor did a great job encouraging me throughout each semester. I would like to see more degree program options in the future.
Currently in the second year and third semester of my MLT program. Definitely rigorous classes and a lot of hard work but for the most part it has paid off tremendously. I really enjoy this career and I’m happy to have great instructors. They have made many adjustments for the students if we struggle and make the effort to help. Exams, for the most part, are fair but still challenging. For those interested in this program, I recommend taking the afternoon labs for more one-on-one help from the instructors. Just know a lot of work is needed to succeed. Finals week is coming up and our last/next semester is our MLT clinicals! Please take a look at and consider Medical Laboratory Science if you’re interested at all!
