President’s Office

Hello, and welcome to New Mexico State University Alamogordo (NMSU-A)! People make a college great, so whether you are a prospective student, current student, professor, staff member, alumnus, community member, parent, neighbor, or visitor, your interest and enthusiasm are valued and appreciated.

Over the past three years, we have doubled our enrollment. As a result, we serve almost 4,000 students per semester. We offer over 50 certificate and associate degree programs, and our credit and non-credit courses are offered onsite, online and at Holloman Air Force Base.

Our faculty and staff create a dynamic environment that will engage you in the process of learning. Our strong commitment to each student creates a personalized approach that is both academically challenging and personally supportive. The campus hosts a variety of services including access to up-to-date technology, an Academic Support Center that provides tutoring services, and a Library with access to a variety of print and digital materials.

The campus has a strong commitment to sustainability. We implemented a campus recycling program and our Allied Health addition is the first facility within the New Mexico State University system to receive LEED Gold certification. We started the two-year process of installing a new campus-wide energy management system and replacing our lighting systems with more energy-efficient ballasts. These changes will significantly reduce our energy consumption.

During fall semester 2010, our project to partially cover our central patio will be completed. On January 1, 2011, we will open our new Advanced Technology addition; the addition is attached to the Tays Center. New programs in automotive technology, welding, and alternative energy will be housed in this addition.

Our college makes a wonderful difference in the lives of our students, the communities we serve, and the world of which we are a member. So, please navigate around our web site and learn about the many qualities that make NMSU-A so special.

Join Us!
