Phase 2 and the Fall Semester

July 15, 2020

The July summer school session began this week, and we're excited because this term represents our partial return to in-person classes on campus. Under the implementation of the Nevada Governor’s Phase 2 plan, the College is offering classes in a variety of formats. A return to our in-person classes has, of course, come with certain restriction such as required face coverings, frequent sanitizing of surfaces, hand washing, social distancing, etc. All of the things that we have grown familiar with.

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues around the world, online classes remain a major feature of our class offerings. Our College of Business faculty are knowledgeable and experienced in providing the best of online education. Many of them lead online classes in our nationally recognized Online Executive MBA program, have facilitated the creation of other online graduate degrees or taught our core undergraduate business courses in an online format for years.

In bridging the difference between in-person and online, we have developed very robust and innovative practices in hybrid course offerings that blend online with resident instruction via parameters around participants, content and timing. We plan to continue this variety of course offerings in the fall as we provide the high quality of business education that our students expect and deserve. Our Student Success Center also continues to offer services at maximum capacity in everything ranging from enrollment and advising to career services and placement. 

Thank you to all of our outstanding students, faculty and staff who continue to deliver on making the educational experience in the College of Business at the University of Nevada, Reno globally recognized.
