Since our first classes were held on campus in 1957, UNLV has transformed itself from a small branch college into a thriving urban research institution. Along the way, our urban university has become an indispensable resource
in one of the country's fastest-growing and most enterprising cities.
UNLV’s diverse faculty, students, staff, and alumni promote community well-being and individual achievement through education, research, scholarship, creative activities, and clinical services. We stimulate economic development and diversification, foster a climate of innovation, promote health, and enrich the cultural vitality of the communities that we serve.
We will evaluate our success as a leading research university by our progress on these measures:
As a measure of overall university effectiveness and progress, UNLV will prepare, implement, and disseminate a progress card.
