The first classes were held on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ (UNLV) campus in a new 13,000-square-foot building in 1957. A year later, the school received accreditation from the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. Over the next five decades, UNLV grew at a rapid pace, erecting more than 100 buildings, developing dozens of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, promoting scholarship, creating partnerships with the community, and establishing nationally ranked sports teams. The university also recruited diverse and talented students from across the country, founded an alumni association, and established a fundraising foundation. UNLV is organized into the following academic units: The Colleges of Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Honors, Hotel Administration, Liberal Arts, Sciences, Urban Affairs Schools of Business, Law, Dental Medicine, Allied Health Sciences, Community Health Sciences, Nursing The Graduate College The Division of Educational Outreach The Academic Success Center University Libraries In addition to the academic units, several other units, including the Office of Diversity Initiatives, Finance and Business, Student Affairs, Research, and University Advancement work cooperatively to support the major functions of the university. The university offers artistic, cultural, and technical resources and opportunities to the community it serves. It promotes research programs and creative activities by students and faculty that respond to the needs of an urban community in a desert environment. Today, UNLV enrolls over 27,000 students and the institution offers over 220 degree and certificate programs through 15 schools and colleges. Governed by the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), UNLV is required to have an individual strategic plan, as are the other NSHE institutions. This strategic plan must clearly reflect the overarching goals of the system’s plan while also establishing more specific goals, targets, and directions based on the institution’s overall mission and service area. According to NSHE policy, UNLV and the University of 1 University of Nevada, Las Vegas Year Three Report Nevada, Reno (UNR) shall each offer a wide array of academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as research and public service programs to serve their respective regions, the state, and the nation. NSHE policy further states that each institution shall strive to complement the other through its programs and through cooperative inter-institutional activities (and, when appropriate, with Nevada State College and the Desert Research Institute). The universities are further directed to strive to avoid unnecessary duplication of academic, research, and public service programs. 2 University of Nevada, Las Vegas Year Three Report Basic Institutional Data Form NORTHWEST COMMISSION ON COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES BASIC INSTITUTIONAL DATA FORM Information and data provided in the institutional self-evaluation are usually for the academic and fiscal year preceding the year of the evaluation committee visit.

    Division of Health Sciences

    Division of Health Sciences The health issues facing our local, state, and national governments are complex, and the solutions will require research, innovation, and collaboration from individuals and agencies representing the full spectrum of health and wellness. UNLV's Division of Health Sciences — along with other health science-related programs in the Nevada System of Higher Education — is addressing today's pressing needs and making tomorrow's discoveries. The division is comprised of the schools of Dental Medicine, Nursing, Community Health Sciences and Allied Health Sciences. Guided by a mission that demands UNLV serves its community, the division is using research, education, training, and service to form unique public and private partnerships. These partnerships are helping provide quality health care to the underserved, educating future professionals, and exploring ways to improve the health and well-being our citizens. Taken together, UNLV is helping build a foundation for a healthier and more vibrant Nevada. Schools School of Allied Health Sciences School of Community Health Sciences School of Dental Medicine School of Nursing Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences Many industries, medical facilities, and research laboratories demand professionals who understand the safe and effective use of radiation and radioactive materials. Health physics is the study of radiation protection, and the safe use of radioactive materials. Our M.S. program provides students with instruction and research opportunities focused in two career paths: Medical Physics, the effective use of radiation for medical imaging and therapy, and Environmental Health Physics, radiation protection, the industrial applications of radiation and radioactive materials, and the behavior and evaluation of radiation in the environment.
