LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State University has shortened the amount of credits students need to receive a bachelor's degree.
Students will now need 120 credits instead of 128.
University officials say the move, made during a meeting on Tuesday, better aligns NMSU with other institutions around the country.
The reduced requirements will mostly affect general elective courses, a news release states.
The University of New Mexico has also reduced the number of credits required from 128 to 120.
