Students who start their career at Great Basin College may complete a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Chemical Engineering (Biomedical Emphasis) by following the course of study described below.
GBC Program to be completed - Associate of Science, Engineering & Physical Science
- A candidate for a bachelor’s degree must earn a minimum of 128 units, at least 40 of which must be in courses numbered 300 or above. A minimum of 30 units (300-level or above) must be taken in residence at the University of Nevada, Reno. See Engineering major program page for degree specific requirements.
- Students who graduate from a Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) community college with an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or an Associate of Business degree automatically fulfill lower-division general education requirements (CO1-8) at the University unless specific general education courses are required for completion of the student’s major program.
- To find out how other courses transfer, visit the Transfer Center website or access the Transfer Evaluation System.
- See the Chemical Engineering (Biomedical Emphasis), B.S. in Chem. E. program description for more information on degree requirements.
NOTE: This transfer agreement has been created specifically for the programs listed above and only applies to students who complete the associate’s degree listed. If the associate’s degree is not earned, or a new program is selected, the transfer and articulation of listed courses, as well as fulfilled degree requirements, could be impacted.

Berg Hall To ensure a successful transition to the University and graduation in four years, students must work with academic advisors at UNR and GBC throughout their career. Students may earn an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science or Associate of Business degree after transferring to the University via reverse transfer . Talk with an academic advisor at GBC and/or UNR about this opportunity. The Co-Admission program may provide the least costly route to a bachelors degree, including personalized academic advising from both institutions, certainty on how your specific courses will transfer and the exchange of transcripts between institutions at no additional cost to you. Recommended Schedule
For information about the Core Objectives (CO) 1-14, please visit the Core Curriculum chapter in the catalog. NOTE: Students must earn a “C” or higher in each of the following classes: CHE 234; MATH 181, 182, 283, and 285; PHYS 180, 180L, 181, and 181L. Associate’s First Semester (17 units)

Legend
* Course fulfills specific program requirements for the bachelor’s degree.
** Students must complete the course at UNR. Please see the Silver State Transfer Program or reverse transfer link listed above in the Contact Information section. NOTE: The total number of units in the recommended schedule amounts to 1 38, which is 10 units above the 128 units required for the Bachelor’s degree. This discrepancy is due to the following: - Oral Communications (3 units): Required for the Associate degree but not for the Bachelor’s degree.
- Diversity& Equity (CO10) Requirement (3 units): At UNR, this requirement is typically fulfilled by a single course like MUS 122, which also satisfies the Fine Arts (CO7) requirement. However, GBC does not offer a course that fulfills both CO7 and CO10 simultaneously, making it necessary for students to complete separate courses to meet each requirement.
- CHEM 330 (4 units): Students pursuing a Chemical Engineering degree at UNR are required to complete CHEM 201 and 202, which are calculus-based. The department requires students who have taken CHEM 121 and 122, which are algebra-based, must take CHEM 330 to fulfill the General Chemistry requirement for the major.
