School Notes
The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) creates opportunities and
changes lives through access to quality teaching, services, and
experiences that enrich our diverse community. The largest and most
ethnically diverse higher education institution in Nevada, CSN is
Southern Nevada’s community college and has three main campuses in
Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson and multiple sites and
centers. Students can choose from 150 degree and certificate
options in more than 90 areas of study, including over 25 degree
and certificate programs available entirely online. Led by
President Michael Richards, the college is divided into six
academic schools and the non-credit Division of Workforce &
Economic Development, which provides workforce training, personal
enrichment and customized business training opportunities for the
community. There are lots of ways for students to get involved at
CSN. The college boasts a national champion NJCAA baseball team, an
equally competitive softball team, one of the largest honors
societies in the nation for community colleges, an active student
government and many student clubs.
No matter where you choose to go to college you'll have to take some kind of standardized test. The GRE is often required for graduate programs, but it may also benefit your community college application.
Education becomes more expensive with each passing year so it is important to make smart use of your student loans and to minimize your debt while you are in school whenever possible.
