UNM-LA currently offers an Associate of Science degree in Pre-Engineering. Courses in the Associate degree program will be offered by UNM-LA in Spring and Summer 2020 to meet the demand for this new initiative.. UNM School of Engineering plans to offer upper division courses in Mechanical Engineering on the UNM-Los Alamos campus  beginning Fall 2020.
