History

In 2012, Northern New Mexico College launched its first master's program in Educational Leadership, partnering with its sister College of Education at New Mexico State University. Its mission was to deliver high quality, distance education instruction to northern New Mexico teachers and administrators. The program was funded by Northern New Mexico College's Title V AVANCE Grant, which graduated its first cohort in May 2013. Today, graduates of this first cohort are practicing educational administrators in northern New Mexico’s various school districts.

Northern offers over 50 bachelor's, associate and certificate programs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math); Nursing and Health Sciences; Liberal Arts and Humanities; Arts, Film & Media; Business Administration; Teacher Education and Technical Trades.
