College of Southern Nevada

The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) stands as a cornerstone of education in Southern Nevada, serving a remarkable 30,000 students annually. As a leading public community college, CSN offers an accessible and dynamic pathway for individuals seeking to launch new careers, advance their skills, or build a strong foundation for a four-year degree. It's where ambition meets opportunity, providing a diverse and vibrant learning environment for its vast student body.

CSN’s journey began in 1971 as Clark County Community College, reflecting its initial commitment to local educational needs. Over the years, its scope and influence expanded, leading to a renaming in 1991 as the Community College of Southern Nevada. This evolution culminated on July 1, 2007, when the institution officially adopted its current name, College of Southern Nevada, a change approved by the Board of Regents earlier that year. This progression underscores its growing regional importance and comprehensive academic offerings.

Under the leadership of President Stacy Klippenstein, CSN is dedicated to fostering student success through a wide array of academic programs and workforce development initiatives. Prospective students and their families will discover a supportive community focused on delivering quality education and practical skills. Whether you're aiming for a transfer to a university or direct entry into a profession, CSN provides the resources and expertise to help you achieve your educational and career goals.
