Chadron State College

Chadron State College is a comprehensive institution with about 70 undergraduate programs of study, including bachelor’s and master’s degrees serving over 2,900 students both on-campus and online. Chadron State also boasts numerous pre-professional programs, particularly in the health sciences.  The college also has a far-reaching internship program that provides credit for upperclassmen while they hold jobs relating to their majors.

In addition to CSC’s full complement of course offerings in the traditional classroom setting, the college has become a major player in the online market. Just this year, the SR Education Group’s flagship website, Guide to Online Schools, named CSC No. 5 on the list non-profit online colleges and universities in the nation. CSC offers 10 bachelor’s degrees and four master’s degrees entirely online. The college’s affordability and time-honored reputation put it ahead of the competition.

The online degree offerings include the Master of Business Administration, Master of Organizational Management, Master of Arts in Education and Master of Education. The bachelor’s degree options and endorsements offered online include studies in accounting, business management, special education, interdisciplinary studies, library information management, management information systems, marketing, mathematics, technical occupations and psychology. In addition, partial online programs are offered in counseling, and family and consumer sciences.

Cultural opportunities abound in the Galaxy Series, a fine arts program that offers exhibits, concerts and presentations by nationally and internationally known performers and experts. Chadron State's athletic teams participate in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference of NCAA Division II, which includes 14 full-fledged members from Colorado, New Mexico and Nebraska. The college also is home to the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center, a facility that pays tribute to its namesake, an acclaimed author, and the growth of the region.

The college has open admissions, meaning applications for admission are accepted from anyone who has graduated from high school or received an equivalent diploma.
