Background Collaboration Technology Challenges

University of Southern Nevada ◦ Relatively new, private non-profit university

founded in 1999 ◦ Offering only four areas of study: Pharmacy,

Nursing, Business and a residency, intern program in Orthodontics

◦ Two campuses in two states Nevada and Utah ◦ Enrollment as of Fall 2009 842 ( this number does

not include our new ABSN students)
