Introduction
As requested, we are providing information about the Master’s of Science in
Organizational Management program from the Chadron State College campus. This
campus can offer all options with the aid of Peru State College for the entrepreneur and
economics development focus. Chadron State College has chosen to concentrate on the
focus areas of Human Services, Sports Management, and Natural Resources. The
following is a discussion of the enrollment within the program at Chadron State College
since the inception.
Enrollment Pattern
This program has been popular for students accessing graduate education at Chadron
State College. Since the inception of the program, student activity has grown
substantially. Figure one, below shows the number of students who submitted an
application to this program, the number who were accepted into the program, and the
number of graduates from the program. Within the 90 applications, 64 students have
been accepted into the program. The application process must be completed prior to
