Liberal Arts and Sciences

At WNC, students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree and transfer to a 4-year college or university with junior status. Students may select a course of study that enables them to complete some or all of the lower division requirements for a four-year degree at many colleges or universities including the University of Nevada, Reno; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Nevada State College; and schools in other states.

The WNC Liberal Arts and Sciences Division manages three transfer degree options: Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science - Deaf Studies. The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree programs are designed for convenient transfer to a wide variety of four-year programs. Students will complete 24 to 27 credits of transfer level general education and will be able to tailor the remaining 33 to 36 credits to begin meeting program and four-year required courses. For those interested in a more specialized path, the Associate of Applied Science - Deaf Studies degree program will prepare students for a variety of careers including teaching, social work, psychology, speech and language pathology, or any career that interacts with the deaf community. 

For students who are not interested in university transfer, the WNC Associate of General Studies provides maximum flexibility in a two year degree that can be tailored to meet a wide variety of educational goals.

Please contact counselors or faculty advisers for transfer agreements for the following programs:

NOTE: All courses to be counted toward AA, AB or AS degrees must be university transferable. Courses with a number under 100 (such as ENG 95) are not applicable toward the associate degree.
