General Information
When undergraduate students are admitted to the University of Nevada they declare a college as their home college. Students who declare the College of Education as their home college are classified as "pre-majors." Pre-majors are students in the College of Education who have not yet been admitted to the teacher education program.
Admission to the University of Nevada and admission to the College of Education as a pre-major is not the same as admission to a teacher education program. The reverse is also true - admission to teacher education does not automatically lead to admission to the University or to the College of Education . For example, if a student is currently attending a community college, applies to the teacher education program, and is accepted, that student must also apply for admission to UNR and be admitted to the University. Applicants should declare Education as their major on their UNR application.
