The University of Southern Nevada started as the Nevada College of Pharmacy, a private, non-profit institution.
The Nevada College of Pharmacy began as an idea from one person, Dr. Harry Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg’s idea was that pharmacy education should be and could be better, more effective, and capable of producing highly competent graduates, who would be sought-after by employers regardless of the job market. His belief in this idea was so strong that he moved from California in August 1999, and with $15,000, one-third of which was his own, rented a 900 square foot office in the Painter’s Union Building on Whitney Mesa Avenue in Henderson to begin the planning and development of what was to become one of the most innovative, creative, and cost-effective Colleges of Pharmacy in the nation.
The institution changed its name from the Nevada College of Pharmacy to the University of Southern Nevada (USN) in 2004 to reflect its growth and planning for additional degree programs.
