CSC encourages prospective students to Follow Your Frontier
CHADRON – There is a place where ideas are as open as the land surrounding you. A place where you can rise above to see the possibilities in what lies ahead.
Chadron State College, which was founded in 1911, is the only four-year, regionally-accredited college in the western half of Nebraska. As a public institution with its roots in teacher education, Chadron State takes pride in its accessibility and affordability.
Chadron State College, along with the Nebraska State College System, partnered with Clark Creative Group, an Omaha-based advertising agency on CSC’s newest advertising campaign: Follow Your Frontier.
Throughout the fall and early winter, CSC advertisements will be visible in Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota and Colorado. The advertisement portrays Chadron State as an accessible college with talented faculty and staff who are willing to devote time and energy to students.
“With the campaign we really wanted to show how Chadron State’s accessibility leads to opportunities, both in the classroom and your career,” Director of College Relations Alex Helmbrecht said. “Choosing what college a student goes to is a difficult choice, but we tried to show that Chadron State is more than brick and mortar. CSC is a conduit for students to realize their potential and capitalize on it at their own pace. The ideas shared at Chadron State are as open as the land surrounding us. That’s a fact we’re proud of.”
Chadron State is also proud to be geographically connected to the western-most 30 counties in Nebraska, the High Plains region, and to Frontier and Rural (FAR) communities. Chadron and other towns in its service area of western Nebraska, as well as most of the states bordering western Nebraska, are classified by the USDA Economic Research as FAR level three, which means the communities are located more than 60 minutes from an urban area of 10,000 or more people.
By that definition, Chadron is a unique location for a college. But the location has never limited CSC’s mission of enriching the quality of life in the region by providing educational opportunities, research, service and programs that contribute to the diversity of the region.
Approximately 3,000 undergraduate, graduate and online students currently attend Chadron State and its curriculum has grown to offer programs and courses in 52 majors and courses and eight master’s degree programs.
