3+1 program with Chadron State College

CASNR's 3+1 agreement with Chadron State is designed to boost Nebraska’s ag educator pipeline.

Sydney Linse graduated from UNL in December 2024 with a degree in agricultural education as a result of participating in the 3+1 program with Chadron State College.

Skilled and Technical Sciences Teaching Option

This program is an agreement between CASNR and the community colleges in Nebraska and enables a student to complete 60 semester hours at a community college before transferring to UNL.

Will Teitmeyer was drawn to the Skilled and Technical Sciences teaching option because it was the perfect way to combine his love of working with kids and his hands, as well as experimenting with his creative side.
