Higher Education Leadership

Welcome to the Higher Education Program

Welcome to the Higher Education Leadership programs at the University of Nevada , Las Vegas (UNLV). The department offers Master's and doctoral programs. Our programs are uniquely situated in the growing and vibrant city of Las Vegas . Las Vegas is home to UNLV, a state college, a community college, and the nation's fifth largest school district-all of which provides a dynamic environment for higher education students seeking research, internships, and full-time opportunities. The city's growing economy and changing demographics present a laboratory for research and practice for those interested in any number of higher-education related issues.

Easy access to college, university, and system leaders; Board of Regent members; state and federal policymakers; and business and industry provides vast research opportunities and the chance to impact change in a continually evolving environment. I invite you to explore our impressive array of undergraduate and graduate programs and the educational opportunities that accompany them.
