Great Basin College
Great Basin College (GBC) is a public online college in Nevada that provides various online associate and bachelor's degrees, certificates of achievement, and continuing education programs. GBC started in 1967 as Elko Community College, and now it's recognized by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. It's one of the top places for online courses in the Nevada state college system.
GBC has seven fully online bachelor's degrees in arts, sciences, applied sciences, infant and early childhood education, general business, and accounting. You can study English, social science, land surveying, digital information technology, graphic communication, and management or follow the RN-to-BSN track. There are also online associate degree programs, such as Associate of Arts in Business, Associate of Arts in Social Science, and Associate of Applied Sciences with an Office Technology Emphasis.
More than 3,500 students enroll in GBC's online programs every year. These students live across the state and in other parts of the country. Most online programs don't need students to come to campus, but the nursing program does require some on-site experiences. Students work with local healthcare facilities and GBC faculty to set up these practical parts.
Applying to GBC is different depending on your degree. GBC is open to everyone; they don't need specific grades or test scores. They also offer refresher courses to help students prepare for college if needed. If you're not from Nevada and only take online classes, there's a small extra fee per credit.
