General Studies

An Associates Degree in General Studies is perfect for students exploring the college experience or students who have many transfer credits from other institutions.

 

The Associate of General Studies Degree provides a flexible option for students who wish to combine coursework in several areas of interest. Students can design a program of study around their interests by selecting a variety of courses in one or more areas.

 

The Associate of General Studies degree is especially designed for those students who have gained significant learning through their life/work experience, but who may benefit from an individually planned course of study based on their academic or occupational interests. Students earn this degree using CCC courses, transfer credits, and courses accepted through testing options as noted in the CCC Course Catalog. This degree is available completely online.

State Disclosure - Allied Health - Radiologic Technology

The United States Department of Education requires that every institution of higher education obtain authorization from each state in which it offers distance education opportunities for programs requiring licensure. 

Clovis Community College’s professional licensure programs are designed to prepare students for a license in the state of New Mexico. Students who wish to practice in a state other than New Mexico may or may not have additional requirements to complete prior to applying for a license.

The Radiologic Sciences radiography program at Clovis Community College is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).

The program’s current length of accreditation is 8 years with the next site visit tentatively scheduled for the First Quarter of 2027.

The JRCERT promotes excellence in education and enhances quality and safety of patient care through the accreditation of educational programs. The only agency recognized by the United States Department of Education to accredit educational programs in radiography and radiation therapy, the JRCERT accredits educational programs in radiography and radiation therapy and in the related disciplines of magnetic resonance and medical dosimeter.

Programs accredited by the JRCERT must demonstrate that they are in substantial compliance with the relevant JRCERT accreditation standards: Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiologic Sciences (radiography and radiation therapy), Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Magnetic Resonance, or Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Medical Dosimeter.
