The University of Nevada, Reno hosts seven online master's and doctoral programs, including tracks in educational equity and diversity, justice management, nursing practice, and social work. Undergraduate students at the university can also supplement their core coursework by pursuing fully online minors in addiction treatment services and Basque studies. Online programs at UNR feature multiple start dates throughout the year, making it easier for students to schedule their learning according to their schedules. All courses are delivered online and asynchronously, though some programs require students to participate in field experiences in their own communities. Admission requirements vary across graduate programs, but all require applicants to have a bachelor's degree and a minimum 2.75 undergraduate GPA. Prospective master's and doctoral students must also submit two letters of recommendation and a personal statement. The university's executive MBA program requires applicants to take the GRE or GMAT, though UNR does not set minimum scores for these exams.
