Online Graduate Programs


Special Programs

The master’s accelerated program (MAP) provides an opportunity for academically qualified undergraduate students to begin working on a master’s degree during their junior and senior years while completing a bachelor’s degree. Typically, a bachelor’s degree requires four years to complete and a master’s degree requires an additional two years. The master’s accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to complete a graduate program in an accelerated manner.

Interdisciplinary studies, at New Mexico State University, are intended for individuals specializing in programs that require the integration of more than one discipline to fully engage in the field of study. The programs provide a mechanism to address emerging scholarship, innovation and research, as well as, allow graduate students to engage in emerging technologies that optimize their education outside the traditional disciplinary boundaries.

 

Special Note! Between the departmental and International deadlines, the earlier of these two will take precedence.

For example, If the department’s deadline is Jan 15th and International one is Feb 1st, Jan 15th is the final deadline to apply.
