All the degrees in this section can be obtained 100% online unless otherwise noted.

Degree Plan Checklists

Undergraduate students must declare a major before or by the time they have completed 45 semester hours. Once you are an ENMU student, you will use CAPP, a program that helps you see all the classes you need to take to complete your degree. We do have some sample degree plans, though, that can give you an idea of what your degree plan might look like.

How Does Online Learning at ENMU Work?

As an ENMU student, you can complete a 100% online degree program, or complete your degree program with the convenience of online courses mixed into your schedule of on-campus courses. ENMU faculty use a variety of online tools including Canvas and Mediasite, to provide an enhanced learning experience. As an online student, you still have the benefit of our qualified faculty who are dedicated to your success. Online courses are available 24 hours per day, seven days per week, though there are some courses which require you to be online at a specific time.

What Do I Need?

Once you are an admitted student, when you register for an online course, you will need regular access to a computer with an Internet connection. For an optimal learning experience, you should have high-speed broadband access (LAN, cable or DSL). Most courses require Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Adobe Reader. Some courses have more advanced system requirements; any advanced requirements are noted in the course syllabus. You can either provide your own computer or use one of our many on-campus computer labs.

State Authorization

The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is an agreement among member states, districts and territories that establish comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance learning courses and programs. It is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state.

What does this mean for you? This means that even if you don't live in New Mexico, you may be able to enroll in a completely online program with us.
