The General Studies Associate’s Degree provides a transfer degree that includes the general education curriculum of the first two years of baccalaureate study. The 35-credit General Education Career Certificate fulfills the New Mexico Higher Education Department “Common Core” requirements, which are transferable to any state college or university in New Mexico. Because of the wide variety of choices for electives, students can take courses that apply directly into their chosen major at a 4-year school. Students are encouraged to meet with a representative from the School of CHSS, from Academic Advising, or from the school to which they expect to transfer to make sure their chosen courses apply to their degree (see here for transfer information). Depending on the courses selected, the program includes classroom, studio, laboratory and distance instruction options. Courses are available days, evenings, and weekends.
Students should see an academic advisor to customize their educational plans. Students must meet prerequisites by placement scores or specific course work. Please see Course Descriptions for prerequisite(s) information.
