UNM West
In 2016 UNM West celebrates its sixth year of service at the Rio Rancho City Center location. The community-based
University of New Mexico campus demonstrates an ongoing commitment to contribute to economic and educational
future of Rio Rancho and Sandoval County. The campus master plan envisions a new lab and science building for
expanding allied health professional programs offered in collaboration with the University’s Sandoval Regional Medical
Center, also located at the Rio Rancho City Center.
NM West provides a unique educational experi-
ence in Rio Rancho, saving time and resources for
local students who choose to avoid the commute
to the main campus. Ten UNM degree programs
can be started and completed at UNM West
through a combination of on-site and on-line
classes. Lower division classes and a high school
dual credit program round out educational
services. Off campus, UNM West partners with
local business and government organizations on an
internship program to create job opportunities for
students to apply classroom learning in real work
situations.
