The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees are designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year college or university, with the transfer of credits subject to the receiving institution's policies. Generally, institutions within the state have articulated courses and programs to effect an easy transition. The Associate of Applied Science degree is designed to provide employment skills for the student. While not usually intended for transfer, specific courses within the degree may transfer depending on the receiving institution. Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution should confer with an academic advisor regarding transferability. The University of New Mexico has adopted a Core Curriculum which all students must complete as part of a UNM baccalaureate program. The core consists of approximately thirty-seven hours of courses in seven areas of study, with some noted exceptions. Students may apply AP or CLEP credit to the Core requirements. Departments and colleges may restrict student choices within the core to meet departmental and college degree requirements. A grade of C (not C-) in each course is required to fulfill the requirements of the Core Curriculum. See page 31 of the UNM 2001-2003 Catalog for complete details regarding the Core Curriculum. Certificates in many programs are designed primarily for students not currently pursuing an associate degree. Courses taken as part of a certificate program are accepted toward an associate degree in that field. All degrees and certificates offered by UNM-Los Alamos are listed in the UNM-Los Alamos Catalog. This list may not be complete, because this is a two-year catalog and program development is ongoing. Students should check with an academic advisor, curriculum coordinator, or division head for more information. All courses listed, except those marked with a "T" suffix, carry full University of New Mexico credit. Courses marked with a "T" suffix, although designed for credit on the Los Alamos campus only, may transfer to other institutions, including UNM Albuquerque Campus, upon petition for approval from the appropriate department and degree-granting college. Pre-Professional Course Work For students seeking career in the health sciences (i.e., nursing, pharmacy, physical/occupational therapy), UNM-Los Alamos offers the first two years of study through individual course work. Students are advised to meet with an advisor to customize an individual program of study.
