Cohort-based Distance MBA Program
NMSU’s Cohort-based Distance MBA Program is designed for the working professional wanting to continue their education without compromising their current career. The program allows individuals to obtain their MBA through a hybrid course delivery method. Hybrid courses integrate both online instruction and face-to-face participation via Zoom. A cohort of students work together through the entire 2-year curriculum.
The cohorts start in the fall semester annually. Students are expected to take two courses each semester, including summers. The program begins with a face-to-face orientation on the Las Cruces campus (or on Zoom) and concludes with a two-day meeting in Las Cruces (or on Zoom).
Specific background knowledge courses must be met before the start of the program. Previous academic work may be substituted for certain prerequisites; however, it is best to contact the MBA Advisor for course advising information.
Admission and graduation requirements are the same as for the on-campus MBA Program.
