UNM PRESIDENT EYES CHANGES FOR RIO RANCHO CAMPUS

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) University of New Mexico President Bob Frank has change in mind for the Albuquerque-based school's extension campus in Rio Rancho. The Albuquerque Journal reports that Frank believes the 600-student Rio Rancho campus is under used. Frank's ideas for change at UNM West include offering more bachelor's degrees at the Rio Rancho campus and using it as a lab to try out new programs.

Currently, only a degree in university studies can be obtained at the Rio Rancho campus without traveling to the main campus. Frank also wants UNM West to focus on technology and health.
