About Business Administration

The major benefit to students is a solid foundation in business principles and theory that can be used in the workplace, or for continued educational pursuits. Opportunities also are provided to learn and enhance marketable skills in the areas of interpersonal relations, leadership, and technical applications. The associate degree leads to entry-level positions with the opportunity for advancement. Students are encouraged to work toward bachelors and masters degrees in business to increase their marketability.

The Associate of Business Administration (ABA) Degree caters to students’ preferred modes of learning and diverse work and family obligations. Online courses increase location and scheduling options that allow students from around the world to participate in the program, although all degree requirements remain available in the traditional classroom setting.  We recognize that some students need face-to-face interaction while others excel in the self-directed online environment.  With either mode of learning, students receive excellent instructional support from competent and caring instructors.

Transfer Information

In higher education, articulation is the process of facilitating the automatic transfer of agreed-upon courses from one institution to another. This means that a student can take courses at colleges and universities across the state knowing which will be accepted at other institutions if the student moves or continues to advance his/her education.  Historically in New Mexico, many students took courses locally only to find out that they were not accepted by four year institutions.
 Representatives from both two year and four year colleges, universities, technical institutes and the state formed the New Mexico Business Administration Articulation Committee.  This committee developed the Business Administration module that includes the commonly accepted general education core. This 74 hour module clarifies exactly which courses will transfer automatically between institutions of higher education. Please visit The New Mexico Higher Education Department website with links to institutional websites for advisor and student use.

The A.B.A. degree at ENMU-R has been developed according to the guidelines set forth by the New Mexico Business Administration Articulation Committee. All courses within this degree are selected from the transfer module that is intended to serve as a guide for students interested in transferring from a two year to a four year institution to obtain a degree in Business Administration. 

Students, who have decided on a Business Administration major and an institution at which to continue their studies in achieving a bachelor’s degree, should consult with an academic advisor at that particular institution to determine the most appropriate course selections. Students enrolling for the first-year of study at Eastern New Mexico University Roswell and considering possible transfer into another institution are encouraged to take the courses approved for transfer during their freshman and sophomore year of study.
