Career and Educational Opportunities

Educational Opportunities

An associate degree is an important milestone for students pursuing either a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree.  Core requirements for the baccalaureate are met through completion of the CNM Associate of Science degree.

This particular concentration prepares students for transfer into a 4-year Emergency Medical services degree program. Students from CNM should always refer to the catalog of their intended transfer institution for admission, program, course, and graduation requirements. College catalogs are generally available online. Students should also consult an Academic Coach to plan for transfer.

Many of the courses in this program are transferable and some may be applied to four-year degree programs at other institutions. CNM currently has transfer agreements with many colleges and universities in New Mexico and elsewhere.

Employment of emergency medical technicians and paramedics is projected to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations.
