The mission of the PGA Golf Management™ University Program SUMMER EXPERIENCE is to identify minority high school juniors and seniors interested in a career in golf and introduce them to the PGA of America’s Golf Management™ University Program by offering a meaningful and rewarding educational experience on the campus of an accredited program.
While this summer program is designed to identify minority students, we welcome all interested junior or senior level high school students.
Please share this information with any junior or senior level high school students who might be interested in experiencing this one-of-a-kind summer program.

The Program
The third in the nation to be endorsed by the PGA in 1987, NMSU’s PGA Golf Management™ program is one of a limited number of programs accredited by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA). We share the PGA’s name and ensure students that our program is fully accredited and endorsed by the PGA.
NMSU is one of the few PGA Golf Management™ universities to own a golf course. We’ve hosted numerous NCAA championships, Callaway PGA Junior Series tournaments, USGA and Section PGA Championships. NMSU conducts more than 50 PGA Golf Management™ sanctioned golf tournaments in an academic year, paying out more than $120,000 in scholarships, prize money and gift certificates.
The Degree
Our 4½-year PGA Golf Management™ program leads to a BBA with a major in Marketing and a specialization in Golf Management. We prepare graduates for careers as PGA members at various golf facilities and golf industry positions. What are the steps to becoming a golf professional?
