Letter From Our President

Dear Friends of the CNM Dual Credit Program,

Central New Mexico Community College is very pleased to provide New Mexico high school students with the opportunity to take tuition-free, college-level courses while still in high school, allowing students and their families to save significant time and money on a college education.

CNM Dual Credit classes allow students to meet one of the state’s high school graduation requirements, earn credits toward an associate degree or certificate, and simultaneously secure both high school and college credit. For every three credits earned at the college, one elective credit is earned at the high school. A few high schools have aligned curriculum with the New Mexico Public Education Department to enable students to earn core high school credit for courses taken at CNM. For example, Albuquerque Public Schools awards core high school credit to students who take CNM’s New Mexico History (HIST 2260) and College Algebra (Math 1315) courses. East Mountain High School awards core English credit to students who take CNM’s English 1101. These CNM credits, and many others, transfer to public universities in New Mexico, a great advantage for students pursuing bachelor’s degrees.

Beginning in their sophomore year, Dual Credit high school students enjoy the same benefits as all other CNM students, including access to our award-winning student support services such as tutoring, academic coaches, the libraries, free city bus passes and much more.

As they graduate from high school, many Dual Credit students have accumulated two years’ worth of college credits on their transcript without paying a dollar in tuition. The program is a game-changer for so many New Mexico families, who can save thousands of dollars on a college education for their children.

CNM’s Dual Credit program is three times as large as any other institution offering dual credit in the state, and it continues to grow as more New Mexico families learn about its tremendous value, both in cost savings and student success. Data shows that CNM Dual Credit students have higher rates of success when they continue on their college journey after high school graduation.

In fall 2010, there were 1,262 high school students taking CNM Dual Credit classes. In fall 2015, there was an all-time high of 3,064 participating students. Overall, more than 30,000 New Mexico high school students have taken CNM college-level courses since the inception of the Dual Credit program.

I hope you’ll take some time to browse through this Dual Credit Annual Report and learn more about our Dual Credit program, which is helping so many New Mexico families save money while giving students an important jump start on a college education.

Thanks for your support of Dual Credit at CNM.

Sincerely,

Dr. Katharine W. WinogradPresident, Central New Mexico Community College

Dual Credit Program Advantages

“We love CNM. It is the most affordable option for students, and as school administrators, we want students to get a college degree with minimal student debt. When high school students take Dual Credit courses, they are building a good foundation and learning what the expectations of college life are like; and they do this at no cost.”

—Patrick Arguelles, Principal, Career Enrichment Center

“Some students, at the beginning of the semester, may have hesitations or are nervous about their courses,

but as the semester progresses, it is rewarding to see their confidence develop. I would recommend CNM’s Dual Credit

program because it is an opportunity for students to experience college level courses while they are

still in their comfort zone of high school.”

—Rebekah Weems, Counselor, Public Academy for Performing Arts

Making Money Work/FIN 1010 is a distance learning Dual Credit course that introduces high school students to important financial terminology and concepts. The curriculum

is designed to give students real-life skills that will enable them to become financially responsible adults as they move on to college and into their professional careers. The course is offered at the high school location, taught by CNM faculty, and

facilitated by high school teachers or other qualified staff members.

In the 2014-2016 school years, 47 schools across the state offered the Making Money Work course to their students.


“I took FIN 1010 because I wanted to learn more about how to handle money since I didn’t have that

much experience yet. I definitely think more high school students should take advantage of this course because it is good to learn about these things before

you go to college and are on your own. The online environment of the course is simple and easy

to understand.”

—Yolanda V., Student, South Valley Academy
