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.
