WNC students who are close to completing their first two years of transfer courses toward a bachelor's degree in education can enroll in Nevada State College junior and senior level courses offered at WNC sites and by Internet. Students are able to earn a bachelor's degree and prepare for certification as an elementary or special education teacher without leaving WNC's service area.

Classes are offered at a rate allowing students to finish at the same pace as other four-year institutions. A Sunday section may be added if enrollment is sufficient.

To date, nine partnership students have finished their degrees and have teaching jobs in the area.

Note: Students must have completed EDU 201 (previously CI 160) - Introduction to Elementary Education. ADMITTANCE TO THE PROGRAM: Students must have completed the Pre-Professional Standards Test (PPST) to be admitted to the Nevada State College Teacher Preparation Program. The schedule of classes is available through the WNC fall 2007 Schedule of classes and will be available online soon.
