Universities in the USA - the international student pathway to academic success in America

Sierra Nevada College is named one of the Best Colleges in the US News & World Report Best Colleges 2009!

Sierra Nevada College (SNC) is a private 4-year liberal arts College with opportunities for studying in more than 30 majors, minors and concentrations. Located near the shores of scenic Lake Tahoe, bordering California and Nevada, SNC provides students a high-quality education in a personalized environment designed to prepare them for successful lives and careers.

At Sierra Nevada College the spectacular location is used to the fullest: a nearby alpine meadow or mountain peak provides the sort of hands-on experience students at other schools can only read about. The ski resort management, entertainment technology and entrepreneurship programs stand apart. And the new Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences affords even greater opportunities for learning.

In addition to Science and Humanities, the Music and Art Departments draw from the rich resource of artists, musicians, and performing arts events in the Lake Tahoe region. Because of the wide variety of business enterprises in the area, SNC's Business Administration Department offers concentrations in Ski Business and Resort Management and Hotel Restaurant and Resort Management.

Sierra Nevada College offers state-of-the-art residences, a recreation center, new library, entertainment technology lab, computer lab, career center, and counseling services.

There are also 10 student-run clubs and organizations, intercollegiate and intramural sports, student newspaper. The Sierra Nevada College ski team has been the national college champion for the last consecutive ten years.

Residence halls at Sierra Nevada College are more like beautiful ski lodges than dorms.  There are two halls that offer warm bright living space. 
Campbell-Friedman Hall is home to 50 students, who walk just a few feet within the same structure for their daily meals in Patterson Hall. The whole facility is bright and airy with terrific views.
