2007-2008 Catalog Academic Degrees and Certificates |
Certificate of Achievement
For those desiring a shorter course of study, WNC offers certificates of achievement in many occupational areas. Students enrolled in any of these programs will benefit from "hands-on" laboratory experience within their major field. They will enter the job market with specific skills and knowledge useful for employment and advancement.
A minimum of 30 credits is required for any certificate of achievement, although the exact number of credits required may differ with particular subject matter.
All certificates include general education requirements which can be fulfilled from the following list of courses.
Courses with a number under 100 (such as ENG 95) are not applicable toward a certificate of achievement at WNC.
Courses with a "B" designator after the number (such as MATH 100B) are college level courses which may apply toward a WNC degree but which may not transfer to UNR or UNLV. In some cases, these courses may transfer to other Nevada community colleges and Nevada State College or to other colleges and universities. See a WNC counselor for the latest transfer information.
