UNLV Global serves as the gateway for international students and scholars arriving at UNLV and the central hub for the university's global initiatives. Through the joint efforts of our five units, we aim to:

  • Enhance the university’s global community by enriching educational experiences and facilitating knowledge-sharing across borders.
  • Support international mobility to ensure that students, scholars, and faculty have the resources and opportunities to engage in meaningful global experiences.
  • Promote intercultural understanding and global learning by connecting study abroad, immigration compliance, English language training, international student support programs, and global partnerships.
