Spirit Like No Other

We’re proud to be Rebels, and we have fun celebrating it. From the annual school kickoff party, Premier UNLV, to the homecoming parade, to the muddy fun of Oozeball, our festive traditions create a sense of school spirit that bonds us and makes us Rebels for life.

From the President

"As we celebrate the anniversary of our statehood, I am reflecting on how proud I am of all of the efforts at UNLV to support our communities, create solutions, and build an even better future for all Nevadans."

Innovative Academics

With 76 majors and 82 minors, UNLV does more than offer options — we provide opportunities. Plus, if your professional ambitions require you to obtain multiple degrees, UNLV also has more than 175 graduate degree and certificate programs and our own law, medicine, and dental medicine schools. We are proud that our academics draw upon the influences of our community, and offer an education like nowhere else.

Rebels Make it Happen

Here’s the first thing to know about Rebels: You can’t define us. There is no “average” Rebel. One third of our students are the first in their families to go to college. Tagalog is one of the most-spoken second languages among our students. Military Times lists us as one of its Best for Vets. All that ripples throughout our campus. It creates a climate where you can both find your people and expand your worldview.

Citlally Lopez Quote

"As a first-generation college student, it was really hard to know where to begin. Luckily, the UNLV Outreach program for prospective students really cemented the fact that UNLV was the best choice for me. The diversity and resources at UNLV makes students from different cultures feel welcome."

A Worldwide Destination

Dripping in the golden desert sun and spread across 350 acres in the heart of Las Vegas, UNLV provides nowhere-else opportunities in this 24-hour metropolis. And while Las Vegas might be the center of it all, it doesn’t take long to slip the bonds of this little oasis and get out into the desert, as we are just minutes from natural getaways and less than a day’s drive from the entire American Southwest.
