There is not an official application for the 2+1+2 Program. You will just need to apply to UNM and then let your Liberal Arts & Integrative Studies advisor know that you are planning to puruse the 2+1+2 Program. You will also need to apply to the MBA or MPA program as a "shared-credit" student.

Not a problem! The program is still applicable to any student who is planning to earn an associate degree at CNM, is in the process of earning an associate degree at CNM, or has already graduated with an associate degree from CNM. Even if you earned your degree 10 years ago you are still an excellent candidate for this nontraditional option.

Associate degree planning: Speak with your Academic Coach or School Advisor in charge of your particular program at CNM. Remember, you do not need to take any special courses or make any changes to any of the associate degrees at CNM for them to count toward the 2+1+2 Program. We do recommend completing the UNM General Education requirements commonly referred to as "core" classes during your associate degree if possible. If not these can always be completed at CNM or UNM after you finish your associate degree. There is no time limit as to how fast you need to complete the 2+1+2 Program so you can go at a pace that works for you. Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree planning: Speak with any of the excellent advisors in the Liberal Arts and Integrative Studies Advisement Team.

That depends on what graduate degree you are planning to pursue. If you intend on pursuing the Master of Business Administration (MBA) you are required to take the GMAT or GRE and earn a 500 or better on the GMAT or an equivalent score on the GRE. If you are planning to pursue the Master or Public Administration (MPA) you are not required to take an entrance exam. 2+1+2 students must meet all of the traditional entrance requirements for either graduate program including the GPA and entrance exam requirements.

No! The 2+1+2 Program is very flexible, you can complete the three degrees in your own timeframe. We understand that everyone has a different academic journey and this program is designed to be a strategic pathway to earing three degrees faster than a traditional timeline.

This depends on the particular programs you select: Associate Degree - can be done online depending on the program Liberal Arts Degree - can be done online MBA/MPA - can be done online depending on the program
