The
Master's Degree
New Mexico State University offers both academic and
professional master’s degrees.
If
the student's undergraduate program fails to provide a
proper foundation for advanced
work in the chosen field or department, the student may be required to
take classes to correct those deficiencies, consequently
resulting in a longer period
of residence than would otherwise be required.
Requirements for the Master's Degree
