Students can then receive an associate degreefrom WNC, even as they may be working toward a bachelor’s degree.In this way, they can achieve the enhanced earning power andprestige of completing an associate degree, while they continue theireducation. The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regentshas approved this process in an effort to increase the number of Nevadanswho receive a college degree and enhance their employability.To qualify for reverse transfer through WNC, a student must havebeen previously enrolled and have earned at least 15 credits beforetransferring to the university or state college.
