Modern campus buildings sit on a pleasant 80-acre site.

Opened in 1974, the Cheyenne Campus is the oldest of our

three main campuses. Most of the campus is housed under

one roof and this creates a feeling of togetherness through-

out the campus. Our student services areas are centralized

making for easy access to critical areas such as Financial

Aid and Testing. Over 12,000 students take advantage of a

very strong curriculum with more than 1100 courses offered

on our campus. With a state-of-the-art Computer Lab

staffed with highly qualified professionals, the Cheyenne

Campus offers a comprehensive learning environment for

our students.

Several key programs are located at the Cheyenne Campus.

The Culinary Arts program is a model for many institutions

across the country and has produced gold and silver medal

winners in various national competitions. The Automotive

Technology program is the national pilot program location

for the GM Assessment Center and is the first outside loca-

tion allowed to perform the General Motors/Raytheon GM

Technician Hands-On Assessment Courses.

The Cheyenne Campus also houses the Planetarium

which is both a community resource and a resource for

local educators through the NASA/Nevada Regional

Education Resource Center. The Planetarium is also a par-

center, classrooms, lecture halls and faculty offices.

To support the region’s demand for science-related job

skills and diversified workforce needs of high tech companies

attracted to southern Nevada, a new 75,000 square-foot

Sciences Center opened in fall 2003. Designed by a coalition

of science faculty, it is meeting a growing demand for profes-

sional skills in science related career fields, while supporting

university transfer course work and three dozen degree and

certificate programs in CCSN Health Sciences career fields.

The Charleston campus provides well equipped, modern

classrooms, computer labs and science laboratories to
