Additional Comments
Entrance into the BAS Graphic Communications Program requires a student to have completed an
associate’s degree in Computer Technology with a Graphic Communications emphasis, or advisor
approval. Since this is a 2+2 program that brings in the associate’s degree intact, the only specific
non-technology lower division requirements are Speech, the constitution requirement, and the
English and Math courses required as prerequisites for upper division courses.
Please note: Students who graduate from an NSHE community college with an Associate of Arts,
Associate of Science, or an Associate of Business degree will receive automatic fulfillment of lower
division general education requirements at GBC unless specific general education courses are
required for completion of the student's bachelor’s degree.

requirements
- To graduate in four years, you must work with your academic advisor at WNC in addition to contacting
a GBC advisor in order to make a successful transition to GBC. You may transfer to GBC prior to
gaining your associate’s degree at WNC, and still complete your WNC degree by completing a reverse
transfer, or exploring associate degree options once at GBC. Talk with your academic advisors at WNC
and GBC about this opportunity.
- A candidate for a bachelor's degree at GBC must earn a minimum of 120 credits, 42 or more of which
must be in courses numbered 300 or above. A minimum of 60 credits must be taken at a 4-year institution
with a minimum of 32 credits in residence at GBC. For more information you may view the catalog at
www.gbcnv.edu/catalog.
- Beyond applying to GBC, there is an additional simple application process for acceptance to the BAS
Program. Acceptance to the program requires an associate’s degree and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0.
