There are additional campuses in Fallon and Minden, and WNC centers in Dayton, Fernley, Hawthorne, Lake Tahoe, Lovelock, Smith Valley and Yerington, as well as degree programs in five correctional institutions. The college offers a number of different associate degrees, certificate programs and a bachelor of technology degree. As of 2021, WNC had about 3,500 students.[1]
Prior to July 2007, WNC was known as Western Nevada Community College. The name change was approved by the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents in recognition of WNC's ability to grant four-year degrees in a few subjects, though the school's overall focus is still largely related to two-year associates degrees and short-term certifications. WNC is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
WNC is home to the Jack C. Davis Observatory, with three telescopes, a weather station and other scientific devices.
