Associate of General Studies
The Degree to Meet a Variety of Needs

The Associate of General Studies has increasingly been utilized by students who intend to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Although it was not designed for transfer, it can be used for this purpose if courses are selected carefully. The majority of the courses chosen should transfer to fulfill core and major requirements.

It is recommended that anyone planning to attend the University of Nevada, Reno complete ENG 101 and 102, MATH 120 or a higher level math, and science/social science courses that fulfill UNR's core curriculum requirements. Any "B" course credits will need to be made up upon transfer.

Courses with a number under 100 (such as ENG 95) are not applicable toward an Associate of General Studies degree. Courses with a "B" designator after the number (such as MATH 100B) are college level courses which may apply toward a WNC degree but will not transfer to UNR or UNLV. In some cases, these courses may transfer to other Nevada community colleges and Nevada State College or other colleges and universities. See a WNC counselor for the latest transfer information.

Requirements: A minimum of 60 credits
