Welcome to our beautiful campus. More than a century ago, Chadron State College was founded as a normal teacher’s college. Its founding was part of an unprecedented effort to expand access to higher education in the high plains, western Nebraska, and the state.
From its modest beginning, Chadron State College has evolved into a rapidly growing multipurpose institution of higher education. Located in the scenic Pine Ridge region of northwest Nebraska, the college serves the intellectual, cultural, and recreational needs of western Nebraska. The college’s alumni achievements and contributions to society are widespread and have been recognized through regional, national, and international awards, including a Nobel Prize.
