It&#8217;s designed for people who are busy, but want to finish their education or branch out in their career. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;UNM&#8217;s been teaching the face-to-face version of our strategic communication program for more than seven years \u2013 and before that, we taught campus-based public relations and advertising courses for over two decades,&#8221; explained <span class=\"xn-person\">Judith McIntosh White<\/span>, a C&amp;J associate professor and a partner in creating the new program. &#8220;But since I earned a degree while working fulltime, I had a passion to make our undergraduate degree available to those who can&#8217;t show up in person for a regular campus-based program nor spare the time to earn a four-year traditional degree.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White, a veteran of teaching at one of the nation&#8217;s Historically Black Colleges and Universities, added that the UNM program brings unique institutional strengths to serving Hispanic\/Latino and Native American students across <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The <span class=\"xn-org\">University of New Mexico<\/span> is one of a handful of federally recognized Hispanic-serving institutions, with a student body that is over 50 percent underserved populations,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And our department has a record of graduating more Hispanic\/Latino and Native American students than the university as a whole. Our classes make a point to incorporate Hispanic\/Latino and Native cultural values and concerns. I see our program as fitting the needs of men and women of color who want to finish their BAs or get a boost for career transitions.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Success stories from the face-to-face strategic communication program include placement of students with NASA, at public relations and advertising agencies, in institutions such as UNM athletics and UCAM, and in graduate and professional programs. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our online program will strive to mirror the success of the F2F version,&#8221; White said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact program faculty adviser Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Judith White<\/span> at 505-264-8382, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:stratcommonline@unm.edu\" rel=\"nofollow\">stratcommonline@unm.edu<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/unmonline.unm.edu\/programs\/bachelors\/strategic-comm.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">visit the program website <\/a><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  <span class=\"xn-org\">University of New Mexico<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p \/>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">Aug. 21, 2018<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; The <span class=\"xn-org\">University of New Mexico<\/span> launched its fully online bachelor&#8217;s degree in strategic communication on <span class=\"xn-chron\">August 20, 2018<\/span> \u2013 but students can join us in mid-October for second-half Fall semester classes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this managed online program, students can take 12 courses in a little more than a year,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">David Weiss<\/span>, chair of UNM&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-educacion"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63292\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
