Welcome from Campus Leadership
Welcome to New Mexico State University Alamogordo. We are a community college located in beautiful Alamogordo, New Mexico. The Lincoln National Forest is fifteen miles to our east and White Sands National Park fifteen miles to our west. The campus is situated “on the hill” above Alamogordo and provides inspiring views of the city and the Tularosa Basin. It offers the perfect venue for creative and motivated learning. NMSU-A was established in 1958 to serve the needs of the airmen and families stationed at Holloman Air Force Base located only 10 miles southwest of Alamogordo. We have since grown into a regional community college and into a branch campus in the New Mexico State University system. We have a long history of excellence that is supported by a caring community of hard-working students and dedicated faculty and staff. Our primary mission is to educate the diverse population in our region. We accomplish this with award-winning faculty and staff, reasonable tuition, and excellent facilities.

The campus also supports a continuing education program and an excellent adult education program (PACE).
