Correction
A story in
our last issue announcing UNM Taos had achieved branch campus
status contained the following misleading statement: "UNM
Taos offers one four year degree." The branch offers courses
that lead to degree completion for the Bachelor of University
Studies through UNM Extended University, but a branch or two-year
college does not award four-year degrees. We regret the error.
