After getting minimal playing time and struggling with the Bruins' style, Moser decided to transfer.[1] Moser landed at UNLV, where he enjoyed a strong sophomore season in 2011–12, averaging 14 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Moser was named all-Mountain West Conference and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press.[2] As a junior, Moser suffered a disappointing season as he battled a dislocated elbow suffered early in the season.

Moser graduated from UNLV at the end of the season and sought to transfer to another school for his last year of eligibility. He ultimately chose the University of Oregon under coach Dana Altman.[3] As a senior in 2013–14, Moser played 34 games, averaging 13.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 28.4 minutes per game, going on to earn All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honors.[4]
