The University Center for Economic Development (UCED) was established in the fall of 1992 in response to the growing need within the state for economic development research, technical assistance and educational services. The UCED's primary objective is fostering economic development throughout Nevada by making the extensive resources of the University of Nevada, Reno available to organizations and areas that can benefit from job and income creation and job retention efforts.  The UCED is sponsored by the University of Nevada, Reno with support provided by the Economic Development  Administration (EDA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce.  To learn more CLICK HERE
  

The Department of Resource Economics is committed to the adoption of computer-based research and instruction.  Every effort is made to provide incoming graduate students with individual desktop computers. Network connections are available for communication, data collection, and access to more powerful computer resources. The Department has invested in several new shared workstations. We have also developed extensive expertise in Geographic Information Systems. The University library contains more than 850,000 volumes, 2.5 million microforms, 5000 current periodical titles, and more than 50 CD-ROM databases.
