Bachelors' Degree With Tribal Management

versity create a bachelors' degree in general business with a Tribal man
agement option.
Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute currently offers an associ
ates' degree in business administration with an emphasis on Tribal man
agement. Beginning Jan 2004, SIPI students will be able to earn half the
credits they need for a New Mexico State University bachelor's degree in
business administration at SIPI. That would mean SIPI students could
transfer up to 66 credit hours in business science and other fields, includ
ing 12 hours in Tribal management courses. Then, it is expected that
much of the work towards completing the NMSU degree also could be
done at SIPI, through SIPI's distance education facilities. For more infor
mation contact SIPI at 1-800-586-SIPI or www.sipi.bia.edu.
