The Nebraska Range Short Course is a joint effort between the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Chadron State College, and the Society for Range Management – Nebraska Section. It is offered on even numbered years, with the next course being offered June 18–22, 2012. The course is held for one week on the campus of Chadron State College in the scenic Pine Ridge area of Northwest Nebraska.

 Comments: Participants of the range short course are usually very surprised with the wide range of topics covered during the week.
