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 two transfer degree options: Associate of Arts and Associate of Science. These 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 students who are not interested in university transfer, the WNC Associate of General Studies provides maximum flexibility in a two year degree which can be tailored to meet a wide variety of educational goals.
Silver State Transfer Program
CO ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO
Students who intend to transfer to UNR after completing their associate degree at WNC may consider co-admission at UNR. The purpose of the program is to support community college students as they prepare to transfer, ensuring a smooth transition to the baccalaureate degree. Students who are in the program may take courses from both the community college and the university at the same time that they are pursuing their transferable associate degree and work closely with advising staff at both institutions. The community college remains the home campus for co-admitted students.
