Central New Mexico Community College - Sophia, SL Partner

[RaiponceRapunzel]

Hi All,

I was just on Sophia Learning's website and have found that Central New Mexico Community College seems to have recently partnered up with Sophia Learning and StraighterLine. Current students at the Community College and I believe anyone who plans to apply and attend can transfer in certain classes from either place for credit. 

I did not look into this deeply, but I see that they don't accept every class from Sophia Learning and StraighterLine. It's mostly general education or pre-requisite courses for your degrees. Either way, I think this might be a great option for New Mexico Residents or anyone who just wants to save money on education in general. This might be great for anyone who wants to study Business Administration because, it seems like the majority of the classes is geared toward that program. 

I'm posting a list of links below for anyone who wants to read on this further. Also, contact the admissions office too if you have any question about this.

To expand on this, there are numerous ACE providers that have partnerships with several colleges and universities. I highly recommend checking out Coursera, CSM, Study.com, etc for their partnership institutions as well. Most institutions that are flexible in ACE providers may take other providers that are not on their list of approved course providers, you may want to get in contact with them to make sure they accept those that aren't listed on their website.

Time-to-time, I bump into a college that has issues with ACE/NCCRS recommended credits, not always, but sometimes. Throughout my time in this hobby, a lot of schools will take them. William Paterson took up to 90+ credits with ACE. COSC even takes a couple of Coursera certs and uses them to waive some of their courses entirely

Honestly, any college and university that accepts any ACE credits is a plus. Just because Central New Mexico Community College might not fit in with Degree Forum’s recommendations, does not mean it’s a bad school. Like I said earlier this could benefit New Mexico residents greatly.

It can help both resident and non-resident students alike. NM is one of, if not, the most affordable state for non-resident/out-of-state students. ACE is just the cherry on top for those that accept it

Re; New Mexico in general, not CNMCC in particular, several NM colleges are part of the Western Undergraduate Exchange, which can save students from certain states a ton on tuition. CNMCC doesn't participate, but NMJC does.
