About this School
Chadron State College is a four-year public college in the Nebraska State College System in Chadron, Nebraska. The college is located in the northern part of the Nebraska Panhandle, in the Pine Ridge area; this area differs significantly in geography from the rest of the state. The school opened in June 1911, though a previous institution dated from the late 1800s. The college has an enrollment of about 3,000 students. Many majors are offered, but it specializes in education. Five of its 25 major buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The athletic teams are known as the Eagles. The college's theme is "A tradition of excellence in education and service."
 
History
The 1909 Nebraska Legislature provided for a new higher education institution in northwest Nebraska. The Board of Education of State Normal Schools selected Chadron as the location of its fourth institution in January, 1910. The school opened in June, 1911. Chadron State College is the only four-year and graduate-degree granting college in western Nebraska, and is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and subject-oriented accrediting agencies. The college now offers more than 50 majors leading to bachelor’s degrees and has numerous professional studies options. Many pre-professional programs in the health sciences are available, including the Rural Health Opportunities Program conducted jointly with the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the High Plains Health Opportunities Program offered in conjunction with Creighton University. The current president of the college is Dr. Janie Park. Preceding her was Dr. Thomas Krepel (1998-2005).
