If you are interested in certification programs at a reasonable expense this might work for you. If you are looking for a better than average education for Associates Degrees - look elsewhere.

Central New Mexico Community College is a great way to earn a degree without spending all your hard earned cash on an viable education.

You learn a lot more and have a more personal experience. Also means more hands on group work, and presentations. However, for the price you get a great education, but overly expensive supplies, like books.

The extremely affordable cost of attendance makes it much easier to swing the costs of school and raising a family and it takes a bit of the sting out of textbooks, though if you know where to look you can find what you need at a lower price. Since you can get a 2 year degree and transfer to UNM for a 4 year or more, the cost of your education can be greatly reduced.

The pay for CNM isn't expensive at all. Especially if you apply for the bridge and the lottery scholarship. I also won a pell grant. They even give you free bus passes, free access to UNM's library, student discounts at Albuquerque stores, and so much more. You're getting more than your money's worth.
