At Nevada State, we define “student success” in terms of both the quality of the educational experience and the attainment of a degree. The successful student is necessarily one who graduates, but it also is one who undergoes a transformative experience on their path to graduation, obtaining the knowledge, skills, and perspectives needed to achieve career success, realize an improved quality of life, and make meaningful contributions to our surrounding community.
The Scorpion Path illustrates how Nevada State helps our unique student population achieve this definition of success. It examines the entire student pathway from pre-admissions to the attainment of a degree (and beyond) and describes how the full constellation of our efforts converge at critical points along that pathway to maximize the likelihood of a success experience.
