Graduate students are offered a full range of classes and choices from an energetic and productive faculty. The Las Vegas Valley is becoming a unique and dazzling post-modern urban center that itself affords insight into contemporary society as well as a complement to rigorous graduate study. Graduate students at UNLV receive careful mentoring and individual attention. We currently have twenty-eight graduate assistants engaging in a wide variety of professional activities that prepare them for the job market and academic careers. Graduate assistants are also involved in research assistance, journal editing, writing program administration, the hosting of an annual student conference, and non-academic internships.
Funds are available for travel to conferences or research facilities.
The department's commitment to work closely with students, guide their research toward publication, and offer a full range of opportunities for graduate students has produced remarkable results, as graduate students are being placed in academic positions at or above the national average.
