Students in Douglas County can take classes at the WNC Douglas campus and often skip the commute to Carson City. This fall, more than 35 classes will be offered - and an additional 80 classes can be taken online, giving students the opportunity to earn a degree closer to home.

Classes on tap at the Douglas campus include American Sign Language, arts and crafts, biology, chemistry, English, environmental studies, geology, mathematics, music appreciation, and Spanish.
