  Eastern New Mexico University- Roswell

http://www.roswell.enmu.edu/

Located on the south side of Roswell, the modern campus is the perfect setting for success.  Established in 1958 as Roswell Community College, a branch of Eastern New Mexico University, students initially enrolled in evening classes offered at a local high school.  Daytime classes were later held at the old post office.  When Walker Air Force Base closed in 1967, the college acquired buildings and land to establish a campus.  The college was re-named Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell.

In November of 2004, a statewide General Obligation Bond Issue was passed by voters, which will generate an additional $3.1 million dollars to help fund the Health Sciences Center construction and provide for infrastructure improvements.
Several new degrees and certificates were added to campus offerings from 2002 through 2004. An Allied Health Educator program and a Media Arts program were added in 2005. Construction on the new Health Sciences Center began in July of 2005.  The 38,000 square foot building will consolidate all of the health programs under one roof.  Classes in the new building are expected to begin in spring of 2007.   Through a partnership with the New Mexico Department of Health, a new facility for the New Mexico Rehabilitation Center will be built on campus property adjacent to the Health Sciences Center.  A new privatized housing development project is also in progress.  Under a long term ground lease provided by the University, the project calls for the construction of 105 units with approximately 250 beds.  The new housing is expected to be ready for the fall 2007 semester.

New degrees and certificates continue to be added to campus offerings each year.  Most recently approved were the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning Technology Certificate of Completion, the Commercial Refrigeration Certificate of Completion, and the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning-Refrigeration Technology Associate of Applied Science Degree. Also approved is a Certificate of Occupational Training in Web Site Development and Administration. 
The number and diversity of online classes continues to increase with about 100 courses available online each semester.  Currently, the campus offers a complete online Associate of Arts degree in University Studies.
