A Message from the UNLV President


I want to welcome you and thank you for considering making UNLV part of your educational journey. UNLV is one of 130 universities in the U.S. to hold the prestigious Carnegie R1 classification for “very high research activity,” a gold standard for higher education. With more than 150 graduate programs, UNLV will provide you with the knowledge and experience to prepare you for what comes next.

When I chose UNLV as a professor more than 20 years ago, I was drawn to its vibrant energy and its vast, open landscape of opportunities. Since that time, UNLV has grown into a thriving urban research university backed by an engaged and passionate community. Our horizons, and those opportunities, continue to expand.

Whether you want to advance professionally, pursue an academic passion, develop your talent, or engage in high-impact research, UNLV is dedicated to delivering an outstanding educational experience. As a graduate student, you will work with and learn from faculty who are highly accomplished and respected in their field. You also will collaborate with peers and with partners in the corporate and nonprofit sectors.

If you have stepped foot on UNLV’s campus, you have surely felt the irresistible energy that resides here. UNLV is a young, audacious university. It is full of possibilities. It is a place where, no matter the challenge, Rebels Make it Happen. I hope you will join us today!

Sincerely,

Marta Meana, Ph.D.
President
