There’s nothing passive or conventional about life at SNU.

This is all but guaranteed by our status as Nevada’s only accredited, private, four-year institution, and our location high in the Sierra, on the shores of legendary Lake Tahoe. Action is in our DNA. Everything we do is dedicated to moving lives and learning forward, to engaging students and helping them become confident, collaborative critical thinkers who are uniquely prepared to thrive in the real world. We bring this to life for every student through active learning that fosters problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation. It’s a culture of competition where students learn to think on their feet, to communicate persuasively, and become active participants in their education.

At Sierra Nevada University, we follow the four E’s:

Entrepreneurship: We love competition at SNU Tahoe. Here, you’ll learn to think on your feet, innovate, and communicate your ideas effectively.
Engaged learning: Sitting in a giant lecture hall isn’t really our style. We want you learning actively and getting excited to grow each day.
Emotional intelligence: We’re going beyond academics so that each and every graduate is a conscientious and compassionate member of society.
Evidence-based theories: Big dreams are important, and so is supporting them with big facts. We’ll help you learn how to think critically and logically from day one.

— But what if you could go to college where most people come to vacation?

At Sierra Nevada University, you can do just that. Just as we’re an integral part of the North Lake Tahoe community, SNU Tahoe is steeped in the region’s rich beauty and traditions – oh, and it just so happens to be America’s top ski destination (and yes, we have a degree for that!).
