Our vision…

..is to be the premier College of Business in the Southwest and we think that you will find this to be an exciting place to earn an undergraduate degree. As a freshman, in addition to general education courses, you can take your first business course–Business in a Global Society. This course provides an integrated look at the various aspects of business. As a junior and senior, you will be taking business core courses and courses in your major. Throughout the program there are opportunities for hands on learning experiences.

Our students…

…are active, engaged and involved in the university, the community and the state. They are leaders of student government, founders and organizers of student groups, and recipients of awards and honors. We encourage you to take advantage of opportunities for co-ops and internships, and prepare you for careers in industry, small business, government and the not-for-profit sectors. Many national, international, state and regional employers regularly recruit business majors from NMSU.

In addition to financial assistance available through NMSU, our college offers a number of scholarships made available through the generosity of donors to the college.

Our faculty…

…enjoy teaching and interacting with students. Many of our professors have received state, regional, national and international recognition for their teaching and research. Our distance education courses in business are taught by the same faculty who teach traditional courses at NMSU’s main campus in Las Cruces, NM.

Our deans are dedicated to making your college experience one that will help you live, learn and thrive.

The College of Business is located in two buildings on the edge of the NMSU campus: Guthrie Hall and the Business Complex. Both buildings feature faculty offices and technology-equipped classrooms.
