The university faculty comprises award-winning teachers, accomplished researchers and well-connected professionals. As one of our National Merit scholars says, Nevada faculty can surprise you with their passion for the classroom:
"Most of the professors at a school like Nevada — including every professor that I've had here — they enjoy their research, but they're here because they love to teach... they enjoy sharing their knowledge with the students in the classroom."
A University of Nevada, Reno education also stresses the importance of tangible experience via internships, undergraduate research and student competition teams.
