About Northern - Northern New Mexico College

About Northern

Northern New Mexico College recognizes and incorporates the place-based uniqueness of northern New Mexico into academics and campus life.

Northern's communities of service are deeply tied to the region, a fact that influences both the educational choices of our students and the ways in which we serve them.

We primarily serve rural communities within a 40 mile radius of our main campus in Española, New Mexico, including eight Native American communities, within one of the most underserved regions in the state.
