Associate of Science
A Transfer Degree

The Associate of Science degree is designed to help students use the methods of observation, special analysis and logic by which we understand the mathematical, biological and physical nature of the world. The AS degree allows early choices for those planning a professional life in mathematics, science, engineering, medicine or agriculture.

The AS degree is primarily for the student who plans 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 AS 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 this degree. All courses 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: UNR transfer information is based on requirements for the 2008-2009 school year. These requirements may change in subsequent years. See a counselor for the most up-to-date information.

Requirements: A minimum of 60 credits
