Applying DACC Degrees and Credit Toward Bachelor’s Degree Programs

DACC Student

Many DACC courses may be accepted at NMSU and other universities. When planning to apply DACC credits toward a bachelor’s degree program, it is best to consult with advisors at both DACC and the university that has been selected.

Articulated Programs of Study

A DACC program is said to be “articulated” when, with adequate planning, most or all of the credits earned in the DACC program may be used to satisfy degree requirements for a baccalaureate degree at another institution. Articulation plans have been developed for the following DACC programs:

  • Associate of Arts Degree to the NMSU College of Arts and Sciences
  • Associate of Science Degree to the NMSU College of Arts and Sciences
  • Creative Media Technology to the NMSU College of Arts and Sciences
  • Criminal Justice to the Department of Criminal Justice in the NMSU College of Arts and Sciences
  • Early Childhood Education and Education programs to the NMSU College of Education
  • Pre-Architecture to the UNM School of Architecture and Planning

  • Computer- and technology-related associate degree programs to programs leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science in Operations Management and Supervision and the Bachelor of Applied Science in Career and Technical Teacher Education at Western New Mexico University
  • Any associate degree earned at DACC may be applied in its entirety toward the Bachelor of Applied Studies or Bachelor of Individualized Studies degree offered by NMSU’s College of Extended Learning.
