Established in 1971, Truckee Meadows Community College is located in Reno, Nevada, the beautiful American West, overlooking the Sierra Nevada Mountains. TMCC is a two-year institution serving over 13,000 students. TMCC offers more than 90-degree programs with Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Transfer degrees as well as Associate of General Studies and Associate of Applied Science degrees. Truckee Meadows Community College is an affordable alternative to the university and many students choose to begin their academic program at TMCC before transferring to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) or the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Transfer agreements with UNR and UNLV make the process of transferring to Nevada state universities easy upon completion of the first two years of education. After completing 24 credits at TMCC, students may also choose to transfer to other American universities in the U.S.
