Howard, a dedicated philanthropist toward the  health sciences, the A building houses our Dental related programs, Medical Laboratory Program, Ophthalmic Technology Program, Physical Therapist Assistant Program, and the Radiation Therapy Program. This facility also features professional services offered by the Dental Faculty Practice and Mojave Mental Health Services. A unique feature about the A-Building is  the Dental  Clinic where residents of the community can get services provided  by our students.

Your tour guide today will be myself, Taylor Cayro, former CSN student studying journalism and video production and former Student Ambassador with the Department of Recruitment and College Connections. During my time as a Student Ambassador, I gave prospective students campus tours and today it is my pleasure to offer you this tour of the Henderson campus. Though this campus may be the smallest of our three main campuses, I like to think it’s the mightiest with our aviation, welding, men’s baseball, women’s softball, and men’s and women’s soccer programs being unique to its grounds. Built in 1981, this 75-acre campus features six buildings located in the city of Henderson on the south side of the Vegas Valley near the heart of Las Vegas’ heritage, Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, at the corner of College Drive and US 95.

CSN Henderson Tour Introduction

The A Building of the Henderson campus is a single-story building and is the smallest building we’ll talk about, located on the northern most part of the campus. Housed inside is our campus library, bookstore, and CSN’s aviation and welding programs. 

Beginning with our campus library, the treasure trove of information available to you inside could mean the difference between a good project and a better one. Featuring a reference desk with knowledgeable librarians ready to assist you and a requesting system that connects you with scholarly sources from all of the CSN campus libraries, fellow NSHE institution libraries, and libraries beyond the state of Nevada to give you the research and information you will need for your project. CSN also offers access to peer-reviewed articles, papers, journals, and texts through the online CSN library. Don’t let your project suffer from bad sources. Visit the CSN library and learn from the best! 

While on the subject of books, you can find all of your textbooks available for rent or purchase in addition to essential school supplies, CSN swag, and even a few snacks and refreshments inside the CSN bookstore. With one on all three main campuses, make sure to stop by our bookstore and take advantage of this resource available to you. 

Rounding out the A building are the aviation and welding programs. Whether you’re looking to become a private, commercial, or drone pilot, or are interested more in -flight operations or cabin service, the aviation program has a degree for you. Using several forms of flight and gauge simulations, students can join the program with no experience and leave ready to take the FAA exam for their chosen field. 

Down the hall, students can learn the proper and safe techniques needed to become a welder. Whether you’re looking for a broad entry or advanced level welding degree or a specific skillset of welding like arc, pipe, or structural welding, CSN’s welding program will be getting you the education you need to join the workforce in little time.

Outside of CSN High School, students in high school can still earn college credit by attending CTE courses, Jumpstart early enrollment courses, or be dual-enrolled high school students taking classes at CSN.

Career and Transfer Services is designed to help students transition to life after CSN, whether that is the work force or transferring to a four-year institution. The Disability Resource Center is where students with documented disabilities have access to resources, accommodations, and highly qualified disability specialists. And lastly security.

Our newest additions to the CSN Henderson campus are our Student Union building and our Health Sciences expansion building. Opening in August 2019 and fall 2021 respectively, these buildings bring new life to our southernmost campus of the Vegas Valley. The Student Union was built as a hub for students. Here, you will find the Associated Students of the College of Southern Nevada, or ASCSN Student Government, the Student Union cafe, a barista bar serving Starbucks, a multicultural center, study rooms available for reservation, and ample room to just relax, study, or simply hangout with friends.
