A major is a concentrated course of study that is determined by the student's primary goal for taking courses at CNM. Academic advisors and achievement coaches are available to assist students with identifying a major that meets their educational goals. Students may add, change and/or declare a major (program) at any time in which they are enrolled. Declare a Major Form (42KB)
