Distance Education & 2+2 Programs

Distance Education

The distance education undergraduate programs offered by the College of Business are degree completion programs. That is, they are designed to provide the upper-division courses required for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Call our college’s Advising Center toll free number 800.646.1901 or 575.646.3836 if you have questions about transferring credits from out-of-state institutions.

Our Student Tools page provides you with a variety of resources covering STAR Degree audits, advising information, FAQs, etc.

We also have MBA programs provided through distance education.

2+2 Program

The 2+2 program is named to indicate that you can complete the first two years of your college education at a 2-year institution such as a community college and the last two years at a 4-year institution. If you have substantially completed your lower-division classes for the 2+2 program at another institution, you will need to send an official transcript(s) to the NMSU Admissions Office (575.646.3121 or 800.662.6678):

Business Degree Completion Programs

BBA: Marketing Major

This degree completion program is available via the Internet. The Marketing major is well suited to students interested in understanding why we buy what we buy, and using that knowledge to create goods and services which satisfy the customer. If your work schedule or location is preventing you from finishing your business degree, we may have the solution through NMSU’s Distance Education program.

BBA: General Business Major

This degree completion program is available via the Internet. The General Business major is well suited to students interested in taking a broad range of business courses rather than specializing in a single business discipline. It is also an appropriate choice for students who may want to start their own businesses or work in a family business.

BBA: General Business Major. Option: Tribal Management

This option is available via the Internet for Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute students. SIPI and NMSU created the Tribal Management program jointly to prepare students to enter positions of managerial responsibility in tribal enterprises.
