Carlo Mora-Monge has been a significant contributor to the College of Business' mission of aiding students and faculty in achieving their highest potential for over 20 years.
Mora-Monge joined the college in 2003 as an assistant professor of information systems. Over his tenure at NMSU, he has reached several milestones, leading to his current role as the department head of the Management Department, a position he has held since 2015.
"In the Management Department, we offer two undergraduate majors (Management and General Business) and three highly popular and sought-after concentrations (Project and Supply Chain Management, Human Resource Management, and Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship). We also offer a Ph.D. in Business Administration (Management concentration) and play a pivotal role in the MBA program. We serve several hundred students," he explained.
Mora-Monge also serves as the co-director of the Ph.D. program in business administration with a concentration in management. Established about 30 years ago, it is the only Ph.D. in business administration offered in the state and one of the college's proudest accomplishments. Recently, he was selected as the college’s Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs.
"My goal will be to facilitate and provide venues for highly talented faculty to conduct and embark on funded research," he said. “Another major task will be to provide strategic oversight to the graduate programs in the college, including our Ph.D. programs in Marketing and Management, our unique Doctoral program in Economic Development, and our master's programs. We are also very excited about our new Ph.D. program in Applied Statistics that will launch in Fall 2024. I plan to continue to strive for excellence for these programs."
