Students who enroll in these programs receive special guidance to help them prepare for the professional field they wish to enter. The University Fellowship Office helps NMSU students find out about and apply for scholarships and fellowships for graduate study. NMSU students were awarded these prestigious scholarships in 1996 and 1997, and an NMSU student was a finalist in the 1999 selection. The Honors Program offers a thesis option that is a great opportunity for students who plan to go on to graduate school. Doing an Honors Thesis allows you to work closely with a faculty adviser while completing your own research or creative project.
Students frequently share with faculty in the publication or presentation of research results.
You can also use the research material and the written thesis as a basis for master's level work.
