UNLV College of Education

UNLV College of Education This is the Official University of Nevada, Las Vegas College of Education page. Spurred by the vision of William D.

Carlson, the first dean of Nevada Southern, the School of Education was established in 1957. A decade later it became the College of Education under Founding Dean Anthony Saville, offering programs in elementary, secondary, and vocational education and administration. In 1964, the first graduating class of 25 received bachelor's degrees; three years later, nine students received the first master's

degrees; and in 1977, five students received doctoral degrees. By 1981, the college had received full accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. The college moved into its own building, later named for Carlson, in 1972.

UNLV/CSUN Preschool Director Chelsie Shurtleff said, "The staff margins are razor-thin; we have to keep the lights on and buy the snacks we feed the children. So the overhead for a center-based program is extremely expensive, and unfortunately, that cost is passed on to families. "
