2007-2008 Catalog Academic Degrees and Certificates |
Associate of Arts A Transfer Degree
The Associate of Arts degree is primarily for students planning to transfer with junior standing to a four-year college or university for a baccalaureate degree. If the University of Nevada, Reno is the intended transfer school, choose ONLY those courses that are printed in BOLD/UNDERLINED from the list below. Satisfactory completion of an AA degree guarantees completion of the lower division general education requirements at UNR, UNLV or NSC. Students intending to transfer to other schools should see a counselor or follow the catalog of the transfer school.
Courses with a "B'' after the course number (such as MATH 100B or CS 109C) and courses with a number under 100 (such as ENG 95) are not applicable toward the Associate of Arts degree. All courses to be counted toward this degree must be university transferable.
A maximum of six credits of special topics classes in one subject area may apply toward any WNC degree. NOTE: Information on transfer to UNR is based on UNR requirements for the 2007-2008 school year. These requirements may change in subsequent years. See a WNC counselor for the most up-to-date information. Requirements: A minimum of 60 credits
