NMSU Description

The Mission of New Mexico State University at Alamogordo is to provide quality learning opportunities for individuals in the diverse community we serve.

NMSU-A is a two year community college campus dedicated to the concept of high-quality, cost-effective education that meets the needs of a diverse community. While some students continue to value the long established core courses, others are seeking alternatives to the traditional liberal arts education. Every possible effort is being made at NMSU-A to keep programs and curricula flexible in order to accommodate varied and expanding community educational needs.

Our faculty and staff create a dynamic environment that engages students in the process of learning. Our strong commitment to each student provides a personalized approach that is both academically challenging and personally supportive. Our Academic Support Center staff provides students with on-site and online tutoring services. You will also discover that our student-friendly staff in Student Services is ready to assist you with admittance to the college, to help you with career and schedule planning, or to provide information about scholarships and financial aid.

New Mexico State University at Alamogordo (NMSU-A) is situated in the foothills, at the base of the Sacramento Mountains. This vantage point overlooks the city of Alamogordo and the Tularosa Basin. The service area of the school includes Holloman Air Force Base (HAFB), White Sands Missile Range, and stretches beyond the view to include the Mescalero Apache Reservation and approximately twenty villages and towns. Much of the south central New Mexico region benefits from the convenient location of the campus.
