Accreditation
Accreditation is a process that evaluates quality and provides a road map for institutional improvements. It assures students that their academic programs meet nationally recognized standards. Accreditation is required for NMSU to receive federal funds for student financial aid and research.
In fall 2005, NMSU began an extensive institutional review, called a self-study, to prepare for its reaccreditation evaluation by The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. As part of this process, NMSU's Las Cruces and Grants campuses will be visited by an HLC peer review team April 28-30, 2008. The Doņa Ana campus, which is seeking independent accreditation, will be visited by a separate team at the same time.
