Two Colleges, One Panhandle.
The Panhandle Advantage is a collaborative effort between Western Nebraska Community College and Chadron State College. Students complete a two-year associate’s degree at WNCC and transfer to CSC to complete a bachelor’s degree in as little as two years.
WNCC and CSC believe in collaboration and seek to enrich lives, invigorate the regional communities they serve, and develop learners. In addition to developing academic programs that create a four-year academic experience for students, the two colleges are working together to further assist transfer students, while embarking on other collaborative items such as recruiting, advising, financial aid, campus resources, and retention efforts.
