Deshler Public Schools

The Business Marketing and Management field covers many areas, from:

• Marketing

• Hospitality and Tourism

• Business Management and Administration, and 

• Finance careers.

Students at DPS have the opportunity to take several dual credit classes in these fields while still in high school after building a strong foundation in several of our high school courses taught by Mr. Cletus Corman.  Some of those classes include:

• Junior High Intro Courses all students will take:  Keyboarding/Info Tech

• CTE Intro Courses:  Intro to Business, Personal Finance, Business Math

• CTE Intermediate Courses:  Digital Design, Accounting I

• CTE Capstone/Advanced Courses:  Advanced Accounting.

Deshler Public Schools partners with Southeast Community College, who has the 2+2 Program with several colleges in Nebraska, including:

• University of Nebraska–Lincoln

• University of Nebraska at Omaha

• Nebraska Wesleyan University

• Doane University-Lincoln

• Peru State College

• Bellevue University

Through this program, students can earn their Associate of Arts degree in Business from SCC on a very affordable path to transferring to a four-year university or college by helping students to learn basic business skills in accounting and economics. 

Through this partnership, many of our students are taking advantage of taking classes to not only meet their general education requirements through SCC, such as:
