Nevada State College is a four-year public institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education, located in Henderson, Nevada. Founded in 2002, it was established to fill a mid-tier role between research universities and two-year colleges and emphasizes serving a diverse, underserved student population. The college prioritizes strong teaching, student support, engaging learning experiences, and innovative approaches to improve outcomes across its campus community. Recent developments indicate a broader regional presence, including plans for a first satellite campus in North Las Vegas and partnerships with the City of North Las Vegas and Agora Realty to expand academic access and workforce development for local residents. In May 2026, the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents approved Dr. Sandra B. Richtermeyer as the president, following a national search and community input.
