— College of Southern Nevada (CSN)
Founded in 1971, the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) (www.csn.edu) is a state-supported institution of higher learning offering two-year degrees, certificates and workforce training. CSN comprises three main campuses and more than 20 academic and learning centers spread throughout four counties in a 42,000-square-mile area the size of Virginia. CSN is the largest college within the Nevada System of Higher Education and America’s fourth largest single-college, multicampus community college.
CSN’s typical enrollment is about 43,000 students each year. Enrollment is at a sharp increase from prior years, perhaps in part due to the relatively low total tuition and fees estimated at just more than $1,000 per semester for Nevada residents. The school offers more than 3,000 courses each semester, with more than 120 fields of study from which to choose. In addition to a bachelors degree in Dental Hygiene, there are more than 200 degree and certificate options. Those planning to attend a four-year college or university will find that the college offers many transferable courses to fit almost every educational need.
— Nevada State College (NSC)
Founded in 2002 as the first, four-year state college in Nevada, Nevada State College (NSC) (www.nsc.nevada.edu) offers more than 24 majors and minors leading to a bachelors degree. NSC’s main 509-acre campus is located in the southeast corner of Henderson, with a satellite campus located in the heart of Henderson’s Water Street District. NSC has more than 3,000 undergraduates and nearly 120 full-time faculty and staff. Academic units include the School of Liberal Arts & Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Nursing and the Business Program. In every field of study, classes are taught by experienced faculty who serve as mentors and guides. With an average class size of only 20 students, NSC fosters a personal learning environment where students receive the support they need to succeed.
— Roseman University of Health Sciences
Formerly University of Southern Nevada, the Roseman University of Health Sciences (www.roseman.edu) is a private, independent, nonprofit institution of higher learning with a focus on health care education. The university has campuses in Henderson, Nevada and South Jordan, Utah. In Nevada, Roseman offers a bachelors and accelerated bachelors of science in nursing through its College of Nursing; a doctorate of pharmacy and professional continuing education in pharmacy through its College of Pharmacy; and an advanced education in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics MBA through its College of Dental Medicine. Roseman also offers a general and health care–focused masters of business administration.
Roseman utilizes a block curriculum system rather than the traditional semester and quarter system to emphasize student-centered, active learning. The system allows students to concentrate on one subject at a time, enabling them to master the content. This system also necessitates that faculty teach using varied instructional activities for students, which supports active learning techniques and strategies and accommodates different learning styles to promote high achievement. Classrooms are designed to emphasize active and cooperative learning, in an inclusive atmosphere with the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology. In addition to the didactic component of the curriculum, all programs incorporate experiential learning at internal or external clinical sites, allowing students to see, feel and understand what is presented in the classroom setting.
