(Deming) – Making its way through the New Mexico state legislature is House Joint Memorial 14, designating Western New Mexico University as the liberal arts and sciences university for the state.
New Mexico does not have a public four-year higher education institution designated with a specific liberal arts and sciences identity. The bill would specify WNMU as the applied liberal arts and sciences university, emphasizing the application aspect of the liberal arts curriculum.
The skills and behaviors gained from a liberal arts and sciences education are outlined in the bill, which also emphasizes the importance of a college graduate’s need to compete in a global economy.
WNMU will soon introduce a newly required applied liberal arts and sciences core curriculum for all entering students.
If passed and signed by Governor Susana Martinez, the applied liberal arts and sciences designation will be the culmination of a new identity for WNMU which recently turned 124 years-old and has been offering associate, baccalaureate and master degrees from its main campus in Silver City and online.
