San Diego State University, Michigan State University, Tulane University's University College in New Orleans, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and Reno are among the schools turning out graduates. Courses include gambling law, tribal sovereignty, casino security and hospitality.
