NSURJ is an interdisciplinary research journal dedicated to educating, supporting, and providing a competitive edge for all Nevada undergraduates (NSHE and SNC). This is accomplished by providing an accessible, student run, and highly selective peer reviewed research journal. It was created in hopes that academic research will enrich the education of undergraduates and prepare them for future academic and professional endeavors. NSURJ is primarily staffed by faculty and student volunteers and publishes twice annually.
