Connors State College
Academics
Connors State College is a two-year state institution with locations in Muskogee, Warner and Three Rivers, Oklahoma. Though its foundations were firmly set in agricultural education, today Connors State is a college with programs in many other fields. The college celebrated its centennial in 2009 and continues to expand while retaining its excellence in fields as diverse as livestock judging and nursing.
As a state college, CSC has a history older than Oklahoma itself. While statehood was on the horizon, framers of the Oklahoma constitution agreed it was essential to set aside land for training and education in agriculture. Once the word got out, an intense competition arose between the cities of Warner and Muskogee. Even though Muskogee had the early edge, Warner nobles pulled off a last minute coup and had the school planned for their town. One hundred and sixty acres were included in the dowry.
Students can pursue an associate’s degree at Connors State and transfer to a 4-year institution to complete their studies. The college has maintained a focus on agricultural pursuits and offers AS and AAS degrees in Equine Technology as well. In addition, the roster of liberal arts courses leading to the AA degree includes English, Journalism, Art, Humanities and Music. Associate degrees in Business Administration are offered alongside courses in Computer Information Systems. The other academic departments include Biology, Math and Science, Health, Child Development and Nursing.
The Nursing Department began offering classes in Warner but has since switched its main location to Muskogee and now accepts about 50 students per semester. The Nursing School is accredited by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing and the National League of Nursing Accreditation Commission.
Connors State College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a division of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
