Western New Mexico University offers a multidisciplinary Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Rehabilitation Services. Rehabilitation Professionals address the human services needs of individuals to reach their maximum life potential. Across the State of New Mexico, the nation, and internationally there is a lack of qualified bilingual and bicultural Rehabilitation Professionals. To address this crisis, WNMU offers an online B.A.S. program in Rehabilitation Services. All Rehabilitation Services classes are taught using a computer based format, allowing individuals from any location to access this unique course of study. WNMU is committed to
educate and train qualified and diverse students in a multicultural and technologically advanced environment. The program also emphasizes the recruitment of individuals from underrepresented populations in the profession of Rehabilitation, specifically individuals from Hispanic and Native American backgrounds, and individuals who have disabling conditions. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be prepared to enter a wide range of State and Federal rehabilitation settings, public and private rehabilitation agencies, and/or graduate rehabilitation counselor education.
