Under the direction of Provost John White, two UNLV colleges (Engineering Sciences, and Schools of Allied Health Sciences, Community Health Sciences, and Nursing have come together and laid out the foundation for the new Multicultural Program (MP) for Engineering Sciences, Allied Health Sciences, Community Health Sciences, and Nursing Majors.
