The Health, Wellness, and Public Safety (HWPS) major is a Certificate of Completion program that prepares students for many HWPS programs at CNM. It helps students fulfill the General Education requirements for Associate of Applied Science degrees required by the State of New Mexico and the CNM core curriculum. Individual HWPS programs may require that students take specific courses within the General Education core requirements for the purpose of transfer or for meeting industry standards and accreditation guidelines. This Certificate of Completion is intended as a pass through certification to demonstrate student progress towards the completion of requirements for a HWPS Associate of Applied Science degree.
Although the program is not eligible for Federal Financial Aid, there are some possible outside funding options (i.e. VA, DVR, institutional funding, etc.). For more information go to http://www.cnm.edu/depts/financial-aid.
Career and technical education courses in this program will qualify for credit for a period of ten academic years. Due to changing technologies, trends, and professional demands, courses completed ten or more years in the past will satisfy program requirements only if they are approved by the instructional school in which they were offered. Cohorted programs may have additional restrictions.
