Online Universities in Nevada

Nevada has limited, but diverse, options when it comes to higher education, from state universities and community colleges to private colleges to career schools. The Nevada System of Higher Education enrolls about 98,000 students at two doctoral-granting research universities, one state college, four community colleges, and one research institute. The University of Nevada is the oldest education institution in the state, established in 1874, while Nevada State College, founded in 2002, is the newest. There are also several private schools, which include a liberal arts college (Sierra Nevada College) and two health care- and health sciences-oriented schools (Touro University Nevada and Roseman University of Health Sciences). Additionally, there are several career schools that focus on technical, design, technology, culinary, or art skills.

Nearly 40 million people visited Las Vegas in 2011, so it’s no surprise that tourism is one of Nevada’s biggest economic forces, with 17 of the top 20 largest employers in the state being casinos, according to numbers provided by the U.S. Department of Labor. The other three companies are Nellis Air Force Base, U.S. Energy Department, and Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. According to the Nevada Workforce Research and Analysis Bureau, employment in the accommodation and food service industry is likely to increase by 1.6% in 2012, and 1.7% in 2013.

Other areas of anticipated growth include retail trade, health-care and social assistance, and mining, which is expected to increase by 4% in 2012 and 4.1% in 2013, buoyed by record-setting gold prices. For more information, the Bureau has also compiled a list of the top 50 in-demand occupations.
