LINCOLN – Chadron State, Peru State, and Wayne State Colleges are lowering their online rate to $359 per credit hour for graduate-level courses for PK-12 educators. Graduate-level courses that lead to Master’s degrees in curriculum and instruction, special education, and history/math/science education are included in the new rate, which makes these degrees among the most affordable in the state for teachers.

Chadron, Peru, and Wayne State are here to support Nebraska’s teachers and are pleased to provide them opportunities to advance their education, skills, and careers.”
