semester of graduation. Procedures for petition are

12. Students in the College of Arts & Sciences receive
PROGRESS reports detailing their status with respect
to University and college requirements, as well as those
in the major and minor areas of study. This automated
degree-audit is intended to aid students in planning
their academic program but will not reflect waivers
and substitutions granted until paperwork filed with
the College office is processed by the Office of the
Registrar. Certification of completion of degree requirements
is solely the responsibility of the College.
University Core Curriculum
New University requirements are applicable to students
starting at the University of New Mexico beginning Fall
1999, including readmitted students and transfers to the
University of New Mexico. The University of New Mexico
Core Curriculum reflects the values of the University and its
faculty toward the value of a liberal arts education: students
graduating from the University of New Mexico should have
developed common skills and abilities based on shared
experiences regardless of their particular degree programs.
These skills and abilities include 1) a high level of ability
in written expression and communication; 2) mathematical
literacy—that is, the capacity to understand and utilize mathematics
in the modern world; 3) the essential concepts in the
physical and natural sciences and appreciation for the natural
environment and methods of evaluating it; 4) an understanding
of the social and behavioral sciences and an elemental
understanding of the human environment; and 5) an appreciation
of cultural values, creative expression and the history
and experience of human society through courses in the
humanities, fine arts and languages. Specific courses (listed
below) will fulfill the University of New Mexico Core in seven
subject areas delineated below. For updated information
regarding courses acceptable in fulfillment of the University of
New Mexico Core Curriculum, see A&S Advisement Center.
Note that these requirements in many cases automatically
fulfill the A&S Group requirements in the same designated
subject areas (described further below). Students should be
familiar with BOTH the University of New Mexico Core and
A&S Group Requirements in order to minimize the number
of credit hours taken to satisfy both sets of requirements. A
grade of C (not C-) is required in all courses used to fulfill the
requirements of the Core Curriculum.
The University of New Mexico Core Curriculum, revised as of
Fall 2003, is as follows:
Writing and Speaking (9 hours): English 101 and 102
plus an additional course chosen from English 219, 220;
Communication and Journalism 130; Philosophy 156.

162, 163, 180, 181, 215, STAT 145.

Group Requirements
The A&S Group Requirements reflect the College’s commitment
to a broad liberal arts education. A&S students must
exceed the University of New Mexico Core requirements in
several of the subject areas. Course selections are from a
broader list than applicable to the University of New Mexico
Core Curriculum (see below). Beginning in the Fall 1999,
students must complete A&S Group requirements in SIX of
the following seven categories. All Core Curriculum (UNM
CC) requirements in all areas must be completed as detailed
above, and these count toward completion of A&S groups of
the same subject area. No single course may be applied to
more than one group. Because of their inter- and multidisciplinary
nature, students planning to use courses from African
American Studies, American Studies, Anthropology, Chicano
Studies, University Honors, Geography, Native American
Studies or Women Studies to fulfill Group requirements must
consult with the A&S Advisement Center regarding applicability
of the courses toward these requirements. Problems
courses (e.g., 490/499) cannot be used to fulfill group
requirements.
I. Writing and Speaking: (9 hours total–may include same
9 hours as UNM CC): Not more than 6 hours from one
area from offerings in English writing, Communication
and Journalism, or Philosophy 156.
II. Mathematics (6 hours total–may include 3 hours from
UNM CC): See Math restrictions (page 230). MATH 111,
112, 120 or 215 may not be used to satisfy any portion
of the 6 hour total.
III. Physical and Natural Sciences (10 hours total, including
laboratory–may include 7 hours and laboratory from
UNM CC): From Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth &
Planetary Sciences or Physics. Selected Anthropology
or Geography courses may apply (see current listings
in A&S Advisement Center.) Not more than 7 hours from
any one area.
IV. Social & Behavioral Sciences (12 hours total–may
include 6 hours from UNM CC): From Economics,
