Innovative Academics
With 78 majors and 84 minors, UNLV does more than offer options — we provide opportunities.

We are proud that our academics draw upon the influences of our community, and offer an education like nowhere else.
From the President
"During Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the achievements of the Native community, reflect on our shared history, and engage in learning to recognize the impact Native people have on our world. Throughout November, join UNLV for events and programming to honor the voices, cultures, and impact of Native students, faculty, and staff who are a vibrant part of our university. Everyone is welcome!"
A Worldwide Destination
Dripping in the golden desert sun and spread across 335 acres in the heart of Las Vegas, UNLV provides nowhere-else opportunities in this 24-hour metropolis. And while Las Vegas might be the center of it all, it doesn't take long to slip the bonds of this little oasis and get out into the desert, as we are just minutes from natural getaways and less than a day's drive from the entire American Southwest.
Hieu Nguyen Quote
"Living in the international city of Las Vegas, I have experienced diverse cultures both on campus and around town. The opportunity to connect with people from around the world has made me more aware and understanding of traditions and ways of life. Being culturally intelligent is especially beneficial in the hospitality industry."Hieu Nguyen - Major: Hospitality Management; Hometown: Hanoi, Vietnam
