The left side of the table below are the course requirements from San Juan Community College with a AAS in Digital Media Arts Design that will transfer and meet the corresponding requirements of New Mexico Highlands University when completing your Associates of Arts in Digital Media Arts Design at SJC.  The lower section of the table are the remaining requirements that are needed to be taken in order to complete your Bachelor of Fine Arts in Media Arts at Highlands University.  This table reflects the Articulation Agreement between the two schools and is an advisement guide.  The BFA in Media Arts degree must be completed at the Highlands University Main Campus, since there are no Media Arts classes offered at the Farmington Center.
