Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Students who start their career at the College of Southern Nevada may complete a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Aerospace Engineering by following the course of study described below.

CSN Program to be completed – Physical Sciences, AS

A candidate for a bachelor’s degree must earn a minimum of 120 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.
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 Transferology.
See the Aerospace Engineering, B.S. in A.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 and fulfilled degree requirements could be impacted.

To ensure a successful transition to the University and graduation in four years, students must work with academic advisors at UNR and CSN 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 advisor at CSN and/or UNR about this opportunity.
The Co-Admission program may provide the least costly route to a bachelor’s 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.

NOTES:

1. Students must earn a C or higher in courses marked with (*).
2. The B.S. in Aerospace Engineering degree at UNR requires 128 units but the total units for 8 semesters for this transfer agreement is 135. The credit overage is due to three reasons: 1. COM 101 (3 units) is an Associate degree requirement at CSN but not for the Bachelor’s degree at UNR; 2. PSC 101 at CSN is 4 units and it satisfies 3 units of CH 203 requirement at UNR; and 3. Students in this program are asked to take MUS 122 or THTR 210 to satisfy both CO7 and CO10 but neither of these courses is offered at CSN.
3. **If CSN transfer students want to ensure completion of their degree within four years, they should plan to transfer to the University of Nevada, Reno by their fourth semester to stay on track with the course sequence. It is also important for students to work closely with academic advisors at both institutions, as well as the University of Nevada Admissions and Records office, to complete all transfer admissions steps in a timely manner.
