School Notes:

Dana College is a place where students make things happen — in their own lives and in the lives of others. Here no student sits on the sidelines.
Dana's outstanding academic programs in business, education and social work, among others, ensure that students have the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to pursue challenging careers or placement in graduate school.
We offer more than 50 programs of study. We offer the practical like pre-health, accounting, education and social work. And we offer traditional liberal arts programs like English, art, music and psychology.
From academics to athletics to social and professional organizations, Dana students choose from a wide variety of experiences. You can join student government, be a member of campus ministry, perform in the Lauritzen Theatre or write for the student newspaper.
Dana College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. In addition, the teacher education program is accredited at the elementary and secondary level by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and by the Nebraska State Department of Education.
