Political Science is the study of political and governmental human behavior. Interested students can learn about career opportunities and pathways in political science and related fields from the American Political Science Association.
The two-year program is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts in Political Science from CNM and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at University of New Mexico. However, students from CNM seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. Students interested in transfer to UNM should consult the UNM Political Science department website and/or advisor at (505) 277-5104. Students 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 a faculty advisor and/or the CNM Academic Advising Center.
