Overview

Launch your future in business at Luna Community College. We’re a premier business program focused on developing competent, job-ready professionals. Our graduates don’t just know theory; they possess a diverse and solid business knowledge base and demonstrate sound judgment—the kind of skills employers and universities demand. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to creating an environment that inspires every student to succeed and become a positive leader.

Degree Options

  • Associate of Applied Science (AAS): Choose concentrations in Accounting or Business Administration. Our curriculum mirrors university lower-division courses (like Management, Finance, and Marketing), preparing you for immediate employment as a project assistant, office manager, or sales/retail manager.
  • The Associate of Arts (AA) in General Business is the ideal path if you plan to continue your education at a four-year college or university. The curriculum is intentionally structured with a greater number of General Education credits to ensure seamless transfer, giving you all the necessary prerequisites plus foundational business coursework.

Seamless Transfer

The LCC School of Business has articulation agreements in place to guarantee a seamless transfer experience for our students.
Important Note: These agreements apply specifically to the Associate of Arts (AA) in General Business, not the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees. We
currently have agreements with the UNM School of Business and Northern New Mexico College.
