Undergrad Research Opportunities Abound at UNLV

Get in, get working, and get one-on-one time with your professors through UNLV's undergraduate research programs. UNLV is one of just 130 institutions in the country to receive the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education's "Research 1" designation, the gold standard in academia. That's something only 3 percent of U.S. colleges can claim. And we have the facilities to back it up. But unlike other R1 universities, you won't have to wait in line behind the grad students before you can get into one of our 45 research centers and institutes. Like you, our professors come here to discover in a place that's young and nimble and unbound by hundreds of years of bureaucracy. The experience will enrich your learning and add credibility to your resume before you even start applying for your first professional job. https://www.unlv.edu/our/about
