NMSU Range Science Program Reaccredited
Associated Press
LAS CRUCES — New Mexico State University's range science program has been reaccredited for 10 years.
The Society of Range Management awarded the reaccreditation after a team visited the Las Cruces school in November.
Team members spent three days talking to students and faculty as well as community members who have hired graduates from the program.
An associate professor of range science, Derek Bailey, says New Mexico State is one of only nine accredited U.S. universities that also has an accredited range science program.
Bailey says the team also wanted to know instructors were actively involved in research projects and that students had extracurricular activities to improve their skills.
NMSU first offered courses in range science in 1925.
