University and Community College System of Nevada
|
|
The University and Community College System of Nevada (UCCSN) was formed in 1968 to oversee all state-supported higher education in the US state of Nevada. Two doctoral-granting research universities, one state college, four community colleges and one research institute comprise the UCCSN. About 98,000 students attend the UCCSN degree-granting campuses.
An elected Board of Regents is responsible for the governance of the institutions comprising the University and Community College System of Nevada. Elected to serve a six-year term, the 13 Regents set policies and approve budgets for Nevada's entire public system of higher education. The Board holds eight regular meetings each year as well as additional committee meetings. Regular meetings are rotated among the campuses throughout the state. All regular and committee meetings are open to the public.
