Program Description

Today’s business managers must be prepared to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing business environment. At the UNM– Valencia Campus students are provided the opportunity to complete the first two years of a business administration curriculum in areas such as accounting, business computer systems, finance, human resources, and marketing. The advantages of beginning studies at Valencia Campus include smaller classes and a team of instructors dedicated to teaching excellence.

Career and Educational Advancement Opportunities

The associate of arts in business administration (AABA) degree is a transfer program. The curriculum has been carefully articulated with the UNM Anderson Schools of Management to ensure that all successfully completed courses transfer without loss of credit. Students should apply for acceptance to the Anderson Schools of Management one semester prior to transfer. Students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all preadmission course work.
