Student Centered
with Practical & Effective Stewardship

Much like a corporate board of directors, Nevada’s Board of Regents governs the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE). Elected to serve a four-year term, the 13 Regents set policies and approve budgets for Nevada’s entire public system of higher education: four community colleges, one state university, two doctoral-granting research universities, and one research institute.

The eight institutions the Regents govern include: College of Southern Nevada; Desert Research Institute; Great Basin College; Nevada State University; Truckee Meadows Community College; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; University of Nevada, Reno; and Western Nevada College.

NSHE provides educational opportunities to more than 100,000 students.     (from https://nshe.nevada.edu/regents/)
