Here at UNLV, we have come together and created one of the most affirmative and dynamic academic environments in the country. UNLV continues to rise in U.S. News & World Report’s annual listing of the nation’s most diverse universities for undergraduates. The university is tied for first in the publication’s annual Best Ethnic Diversity listing.
Since we first opened in 1957, UNLV has undergone an amazing transformation from a small branch college into a thriving urban research institution of more than 30,000 students and 3,300 faculty and staff.
Along the way, the urban land-grant university has become a dynamic resource for one of the country's fastest-growing and most enterprising cities. UNLV's 350-acre main campus, located on the Southern tip of Nevada in a desert valley surrounded by mountains, is home to more than 350 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs, all accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
Clark County is a dynamic and innovative organization dedicated to providing top-quality service with integrity, respect and accountability. With jurisdiction over the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and covering an area the size of New Jersey, Clark is the nation’s 11th-largest county and provides extensive regional services to 2.4 million citizens and 43 million visitors a year. Included are the nation’s 7th-busiest airport, air quality compliance, social services and the state’s largest public hospital, University Medical Center. The County also provides municipal services that are traditionally provided by cities to 1 million residents in the unincorporated area. Those include fire protection, roads and other public works, parks and recreation, and planning and development.
The City of Henderson, America’s premier community, is located in sunny Southern Nevada along the southeastern portion of Clark County between Las Vegas and Lake Mead. Home to approximately 275,000 residents, it is the largest full-service city and second-largest city in Nevada.
Henderson is consistently rated among the nation’s best cities in which to live, work, play and do business, and it is also one of the safest cities in America. The City of Henderson is recognized for its nationally accredited parks and recreation system, police and fire departments. In addition, residents enjoy the highest quality of life in the Las Vegas Valley.
Henderson’s strong pro-business environment is diverse and growing, with an environment that supports both new and existing business. Nevada's low-tax environment, including no personal income tax, is continually regarded as one of the most business friendly in the nation.
The City of Henderson has a proven track record of efficient government and maintains one of the lowest employee-to-resident ratios in Southern Nevada and remains committed to optimizing organizational effectiveness by attracting, developing, and retaining a talented and diverse workforce that support the city's mission. The contributions of each and every employee are the key to the community's continued success.
