Give Yourself Credit
Get a head start on college by enrolling in one of our programs for high school students. If you are a high school sophomore through senior in central New Mexico, you can earn both college credits and high school elective credits.
You could even earn an Associate’s degree and your high school diploma at the same time! You can apply your credits to a CNM certificate or degree, or transfer most of them to UNM, NMSU, and other colleges.

- Sign up for courses weekdays, weekends, evenings, or online. Select from hundreds of regular CNM classes taught by CNM faculty.
