Welcome to the Undergraduate Admissions Office at SNU Tahoe.

We’re here to help you craft an epic future, where you will find your own unique success.

Why Sierra Nevada University?

I get to wake up every day and stroll to class at Lake Tahoe, the best place on Earth. I found a beautiful home and an education for life.

Kallie Day, Class of 2014

I left Sierra Nevada University armed with an understanding of my role in this world and my potential to change it. I was not told what to think here, but how. I was told not what to do, but how to find my own solution, to always question if a better way is possible. I don’t know where that’ll take me, but it’s bound to be an interesting journey.

Savannah Hoover, Class of 2013

I lived in a few different towns and attended three different colleges before SNU, and I have to say the friends I’ve made here are people I want to have in my life forever.

Jake Pollock, Class of 2013

I love the small school aspect. You can go talk to the professors and they’ll sit down and help you.
