This program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Applied Science in Pre-Architecture from CNM and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Architecture at University of New Mexico (UNM).
Students interested in transferring to UNM should consult the UNM School of Architecture. Students from CNM seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. Students should always refer to the catalog of their intended transfer institution for specific admission and curricular requirements. Students should also consult an Advisor.
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.
