N.M. Code R. § 5.55.7.8 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. The
department shall develop and maintain a statewide system of meta-majors and
transfer modules. The meta-majors and transfer modules will be based on the
requirements of current, approved undergraduate programs and certificate
programs offered at institutions in New Mexico. The department shall utilize
degree maps submitted by each institution in formulating statewide meta-majors
and transfer modules.
B. A degree
map provides college students with a clear and direct path to on-time
completion. Degree maps shall include specific required courses listed by
term.
C. A meta-major consists of
lower division courses that articulate to multiple undergraduate programs in
related disciplines. A meta-major will fulfill the first term degree map
requirements of multiple similar disciplines that share common lower-division
course requirements and are transferable between institutions. A meta-major or
transfer module may include courses from the general education curriculum, as
defined in 5.55.6 NMAC.
D. A
transfer module consists of lower division courses that articulate to a
specific bachelor's degree program. A transfer module will fulfill the first
four terms of degree map requirements of a bachelor's degree and be
transferable between institutions. A transfer module may be an associate's
degree or a certificate.
E. The
department shall maintain and make available a listing of the statewide
meta-majors, transfer modules, and certificate and degree programs offered by
all institutions.
F. Each
institution shall maintain and make available to students a listing of the
meta-majors, transfer modules, and certificate and degree programs offered at
the institution.
G. Any tribal
college or tribal university may participate in the statewide meta-majors and
transfer modules, upon execution of a memorandum of understanding with the
department expressing its intent to implement statewide meta-majors and
transfer modules. If a tribal college or university has executed a memorandum
of understanding with the department, the tribal college or tribal university
shall be considered an institution for purposes of the Subsection E of 5.55.7.7
NMAC.

a fee for the actual cost of maintaining the degree mapping platform.
