Although the youngest state university in New Mexico, we look with pride upon our accomplishments since the dream of having a university in eastern New Mexico first arose many decades ago. The Legislature of 1927 located the University in Portales, and the Legislature of 1929 approved the first appropriation for buildings.
Over 90 programme options and 1200 courses and online programmes.
Whether online or on-campus, our programs help students explore current research techniques, and develop knowledge and competency in their field of study while fostering a spirit of inquiry by encouraging independent, original thought. We believe education is a lifelong process that demonstrates the importance of independent inquiry, objectivity and judgment. As an ENMU student, you will be provided with experiences to help you find success in a changing world.
As a student, you need a safe environment that gives you privacy, quiet time and a place to keep your stuff. You also need a place where you can feel comfortable hanging out with your friends, listening to music or doing whatever it is you do to relax. You will find just the environment you need in our three dormitories and 300 apartments.
The Golden Library has been a center of research and learning on the ENMU campus for years. Thanks to New Mexico voter support of G.O. Bond C in the 2016 November election, ENMU completed the renovation in summer 2018 to turn the Golden Library into the Golden Student Success Center.
La Casa ENMU Student Health Services is here to help you maintain a positive, healthy lifestyle, which contributes to your academic success. Your student activity fees fund La Casa ENMU Student Health Services and 100% of our budget is used to deliver quality health care to you. To use our services feel free to walk-in or make an appointment.
