Welcome

Congratulations on deciding to transform your life! 

Welcome to NMSU Grants! Choosing to pursue higher education is a powerful step toward transforming your life, and I am proud to welcome you to our Aggie community. We offer a variety of degree and certificate programs designed to help you achieve your academic and career goals, whether you plan to transfer to a university or enter the workforce. Our transfer degrees, associate degrees, and Career and Technical Education certificates provide clear pathways to meaningful careers and continued study.

Students may earn associate degrees in areas such as Education, Business, Criminal Justice, or Science while completing the first two years of a bachelor’s program. By starting at NMSU Grants and then transferring, students can complete their general education requirements at a lower cost before moving on to a university.

As a campus, we are committed to expanding educational opportunity in our region by providing accessible, affordable, and high-quality programs. We strive to empower every student to succeed through innovative pathways, supportive services, and a culture of respect. Our Student Success Center offers free tutoring, math and writing assistance, and other resources, and our faculty are known for their caring, student-focused approach to teaching.

I encourage you to take advantage of the opportunities available, build relationships with faculty and staff, and make the most of your time here. We are here to support you every step of the way as you work toward your degree, your career, and your future.

Welcome to the NMSU family and GO Aggies!
