Western Nevada College ensures that students who are unable to start at the beginning of the semester have alternatives in their personal schedule to take higher education courses.
For the 2022 fall semester, one of those options is late-start classes, which begin on Oct. 24 with some exceptions. Although the courses typically span eight weeks and end on Dec. 17, students will receive full credit for them.
There are also enough options for students to build a full schedule and/or train for quick entry into the workforce or build your skills for a promotion at your current job. Choose between American Sign Language, Art, Mechatronics, Biology, Computer Information Technology, Communication, Counseling and Personal Development, Drafting, Education, Human Development and Family Studies, Management Science, Spanish, Machine Tool and Welding classes.
Many of the classes are offered online, with some in-person courses available. For information about becoming a student at WNC, go to www.wnc.edu/starthere.
Currently, WNC is offering the following late-start classes — all of which will begin in either October or November (in person classes are noted). For a full list of classes and course descriptions, go to wnc.edu/class-schedule/.
