In 1987 the University of New Mexico created this program to schedule more evening and weekend courses leading to regular academic degrees. The current late afternoon and evening courses are listed in bold face type in the Schedule of Classes. Saturday classes are designated with an “S.” For separate course listings, check the posted Addendum to the Schedule of Classes in the Student Services Center. Call for additional information about non-traditional degree programs for those who cannot enroll in traditional, daytime programs.

The evening programs currently offered lead to 40 complete academic degrees and 37 minors or formal concentrations. Nearly 12,000 students take some of the 1,000 courses offered at night or on Saturdays each semester. More than half of all graduate-level courses are now offered at night to accommodate working students.
