Transfer Degrees
Associate of Arts & Associate of Science


The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees are primarily for the student who plans to transfer from WNC to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree in liberal arts, sciences, humanities, math or related areas. Every year, large numbers of WNC students successfully transfer to other schools. Each school has its own specific requirements and recommended electives for its various emphases.

Community college students who plan to transfer to the University of Nevada, Reno, University of Nevada, Las Vegas or Nevada State College and who did not complete the university entrance requirements in high school, must complete a minimum of 24 transferable credits with a minimum 2.3 grade point average. Effective fall 2010, the minimum grade point average will increase to 2.5. Students who earn an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree will be admitted to an NSHE university or state college regardless of their grade point average.
