This new program is in response to the needs of students transferring from CNM to UNM in the humanities. CNM and UNM are partners on a grant for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the purpose of which is to create transfer opportunities for students in the humanities. One strategy for this is to create pathways from CNM in humanities areas that have bachelor’s degrees at UNM. Afterwards, students may go on to complete a master’s and doctoral degree in Philosophy.
