See our city-by-city Nevada college directory for all other colleges and universities (independent) and for the locations of satellite campuses.

Along with the many colleges offering vocational-type classes, some predominately, we also have listed in our trade school directories about two dozen 'exclusively vocational' trade schools with a website as well (due to the character of our directories, they must be 'brick-n-mortar' and have a website to be listed). As to what schools and where, see our city-by-city directory of Nevada trade schools.

Nevada overview

For information on the business sector, amenities and other aspects of a particular area, few places are better sources than the chamber of commerce of any city such as the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce or the Reno Sparks Chamber of Commerce. One should always yield to greater knowledge.

Counseling, admissions, scholarships and student loans

For information on counseling, the admissions process, scholarships and student loans, see our western states colleges webpage. It also contains information about the outstanding Career Information System (CIS).
