Learning Environment

At Nevada State College, you won’t find any huge lecture classes with 200 students. Nor will you find anonymity in the back of the class. Instead, you’ll learn in small classes where your opinion counts—and where your professor not only knows your name, but also your interests and your goals.

No matter what major you choose, you’ll work with excellent teachers who are experienced professionals—but whose top priority is teaching you. You’ll gain important insights, sharpen your skills, and deepen your understanding.

You’ll also find a true community of individuals like you—and unlike you. NSC students represent a spectacular array of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, giving you valuable insights into different ways of looking at the world.

NSC students also represent a wide array of socioeconomic backgrounds. The College is deeply committed to providing an accessible, affordable education; in fact, roughly 30 percent of our students are the first in their families to attend college.

We’re also deeply committed to preparing you for a rewarding career. Through internships, student teaching, and other community-based learning programs, you’ll experience the working world long before you graduate. You’ll make connections, build an impressive resume, and prepare to make valuable contributions to your profession.
