Summer Academy
A rich, supportive learning environment to create a seamless transfer pathway for students from Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) or our University of New Mexico (UNM) branch campuses (Taos, Gallup, Valencia, or Los Alamos) to our UNM main campus where students develop critical thinking and research skills for academic success in the Humanities.
During Summer Academy, students take 6 credits of upper division (300-level or higher) humanities courses taught by UNM faculty. With grades of "C" or better, the credit hours may be applied to both the AA degree at CNM and the BA degree at UNM. In addition, students are eligible for a stipend per class upon completion of the courses. Lastly, students will have access to graduate student mentors in the humanities for guidance, academic or professional.
