Notes
Nevada's first AA program (enabled by 2023 NV legislation); inaugural cohort May 2026 at NSU's new Henderson regional campus. NOT yet CAAHEP-accredited: NSU states a site visit is scheduled for initial accreditation and that this 'is neither a status of accreditation nor a guarantee.' Not in CAAHEP directory or on CASAA's participating-programs list. For the 2026-27 CASAA cycle the Las Vegas program is not directly available in CASAA. Invitations to apply go only to applicants with a verified CASAA application to another NSU AA campus (NSU FL/NV window June 15–Jan 15, hence the Jan 15, 2027 effective deadline). No outcomes yet; first graduates expected ~2028.
