Community College of Southern Nevada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Community College of Southern Nevada ("CCSN") is a two-year college in Nevada. Originally founded in 1974 as "Clark County Community College", the school took its current name around 1978. It has three main campuses in the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. In addition, it has about 47 other locations across 4 counties in Southern Nevada. It is part of the Nevada System of Higher Education.

[edit] Four Year Degrees

CCSN has always been a 2 year Junior College. A Previous President of CCSN was fired after trying to get CCSN to be able to offer 4 year degrees. Shortly there after, however, CCSN started offering a Bachelors of Science (BS) Dental Hygiene. As a result, the school now offers 3rd and 4th year general education classes. These are only open to the Dental Hygiene students.

There is also talk of expanding their Nursing and/or Teaching program to Four Year. So far, neither of these have happened.

[edit] Advertisements

The current slogan and ad compain for CCSN is "It's You, Only Better".

Across the street from the Charleston campus (the largest campus) is a McDonald's. For several years, CCSN rented the billboard next to McDonald's with an ad that said "If you don't want to end up here (pointing at McDonalds), go here (pointing to the college)".
