University of Nevada-Las Vegas is a public higher education institution located in Las Vegas, Nevada, founded in 1957. It has evolved from a small branch college into an urban research university serving more than 30,000 students, with roughly 3,300 faculty and staff. Its 350-acre main campus sits on the southern tip of Nevada, in a desert valley surrounded by mountains, and it offers more than 350 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs, all accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The university is recognized for its diversity, ranking highly in U.S. News & World Report for undergraduate ethnic diversity, including a tie for first in the Best Ethnic Diversity listing.

As an urban land-grant institution, UNLV serves as a resource for one of the country's fastest-growing and most enterprising cities, connecting education with regional development. In 2026, UNLV Practice expanded its activities through a partnership with the Nevada Small Business Development Center to offer two six-week courses aimed at helping contractors with licensing processes and construction topics.
