Nevada Global Business & Economics Lab (NVGLOBE-L)

NVGLOBE-L is a policy-oriented lab which focuses on applied research in business and economics, bringing together students and faculty from the University of Nevada, Reno and our international partner universities in joint research projects.

About NVGLOBE-L

The vision of the UNR College of Business is “to be a premier business school that produces research and graduates that enable economic vitality and inspire positive change in Nevada and the world.”

The College of Business international programs are designed to build a global perspective in business and economics education. Our goal is to support the College by facilitating international faculty and student exchange programs, research collaborations, joint research symposia, study abroad programs, professional internships, international competitions, and other global outreach activities. To help with the college vision and our internationalization efforts, we are announcing this new international initiative.
