The University of Nevada, Reno is the state’s historic flagship institution of higher education. The University has a student enrollment of more than 16,000, including about 3,200 graduate students, and a total budget of nearly $500 million. The University provides a broad range of programs and degree options, ranging from baccalaureate degrees in more than 75 disciplines to more than 100 graduate-degree programs at the master’s and doctoral level. The University of Nevada School of Medicine is a vital component of the University, with campuses in both of Nevada’s major urban centers, Las Vegas and Reno, and a health network that extends to much of rural Nevada.
The University of Nevada was founded in 1874 in Elko as the state’s first institution of higher education. Relocated to Reno in 1887, the University remained the state’s only institution of higher education for 75 years. The first building on the Reno campus, Morrill Hall, is still in use today, and the campus has grown from a small cluster of buildings surrounding a central quadrangle (modeled after Thomas Jefferson’s design for the University of Virginia), to a 250-acre site just north of downtown Reno. The University is one of eight institutions of higher education governed by the Nevada System of Higher Education.
