The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) serves as a unified, statewide network that strengthens higher education through collaboration, shared resources, and collective success. By connecting Nevada’s eight public institutions, NSHE ensures that achievements at one institution contribute to the advancement of the entire system. This integrated approach fosters academic excellence, operational efficiency, and expanded opportunities for students, faculty, and communities across the state.

Guided by a publicly elected Board of Regents, NSHE provides strategic oversight, establishes systemwide policies, and makes critical budgetary decisions to support long-term educational goals. The System Administration office leads and coordinates statewide initiatives, ensuring consistent implementation of Board policies, while a robust technological backbone of shared digital services supports connectivity and innovation throughout the system. Together, these elements create a cohesive framework that empowers Nevada’s higher education institutions to thrive and serve the state effectively.
