Geographic Information Technology Transfer Options
Transfer Pathways
The ENMU BAAS program is a transfer pathway for all CNM AAS degrees. Your AAS degree will transfer and apply toward the ENMU BAAS program. In addition, the ENMU BAAS program requires completion of the New Mexico General Education curriculum as part of its degree requirements. These General Education courses can be completed prior to transfer.
Below, you’ll find a list of courses that can be taken in addition to your AAS to ensure you transfer with your General Education requirements complete:
- One Communications Requirement Course
- One Creative and Fine Arts Requirement Course
- One Laboratory Science Requirement (Lab Required)*
- One Social and Behavioral Science Requirement Course
- Two Multi-Discipline/Flexible Requirement Courses
*To maximize your transfer credits for General Education, please choose GEOG 1110 as part of your AAS degree.
