Associate of Science

General Studies

Program

The Associate of Science degree is sometimes referred to as a “university parallel” or “transfer” degree. The general education requirements, when completed at NMJC, generally meet the lower division general education requirements of all public baccalaureate colleges and universities in the state of New Mexico. Students, after consulting with advisors, will need to select courses suitable to their educational needs, (i.e., career goal, major, learning style, transfer goals). Students should review transfer information before making degree plans.
