Distance Ed Creates Long Arm of Learning

Distance Education Programs at the University of New Mexico reaches across the state to embrace students who want to earn a UNM degree while remaining in their own communities to work and live. This semester, UNMs San Juan Center in Farmington will hand diplomas to 11 students who earned a BS in elementary education. An additional seven will receive an MA in elementary/secondary education. One student completed the state licensure program for teachers and another earned a Bachelor of University Studies.

UNM is very fortunate to be able to invest in upper division and graduate programs at our branches and other community colleges in New Mexico. This start to finish, close to home model is critical for students who want to graduate from UNM but for many reasons cannot relocate to attend main campus, said Jerónimo Domínguez, vice provost, UNM Distance Education Programs.

Viola Florez, dean, UNM College of Education, said, Access is really critical. Some simply cant come to main campus. Our challenge has been to provide access to students and excellent programs.
