Anderson Schools of Management @ UNM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of New Mexico’s (UNM) College of Business Administration was established in 1947 and received its first AACSB accreditation in 1975. UNM was only the third university to gain professional AACSB accreditation for both the bachelor’s and master’s level management programs simultaneously.

In 1968, the University of New Mexico’s Board of Regents approved the formation of The Robert O. Anderson Schools of Management (Anderson) as a named school. This was the first time a New Mexico state school or college had been named in honor of a prominent citizen, and Anderson was the first professional school of management to be established within New Mexico. At that time, Anderson employed 15 tenure-track faculty members under Dean Robert Rehder; today Anderson employs 42 tenure-track faculty members under Dean Charles Crespy.

Anderson has continued to evolve and today offers four masters-level graduate degree programs – MBA, Executive MBA (EMBA), Professional MBA (PMBA), and Master of Accounting (MAcct) – and undergraduate BBA degrees, with concentrations in accounting, accounting management, tax accounting, international management, international management in Latin America, management information systems, management of technology, policy and planning, marketing management, operations management, financial management, and organizational behavior/human resources management.
