Central New Mexico Community College

1011 E 10th St Ste B, Alamogordo, NM

Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) is a two-year institution of higher education located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. CNM has four campuses in the Albuquerque area and a Workforce Training Center. The school offers 52 occupational certificates and many short-term career and technical courses.  CNM also offers associate's degrees in arts, sciences, and 48 occupational fields, as well as college transfer courses for students who wish to transfer to four-year institutions.

CNM offers many online courses as well as GED courses, adult basic education and developmental education. High school students can earn college and high school credits simultaneously through CNM's dual-enrollment programs. Additionally, CNM partners with Albuquerque Public Schools to offer the Early College Academy, a program that allows high school students to earn an associate's degree at the same time they earn a high school diploma.

History

Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) was established in 1965 as a trade school called Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute (TVI). The original mission, to provide adults with occupational education, continues today.  The first 150 students of TVI studied in a vacated elementary school building and empty military barracks. That site, on 60 acres, is now CNM's Main Campus.

Accredited in 1978, TVI became an independent school district in 1979. The school's Montoya Campus was founded that same year. In 1985, college preparation courses were added to the curriculum that had previously focused on vocational training in business, health, technologies and trades.  In 1986, the school was authorized to offer associate's degrees, which led to greater expansion and status as a community college.  With its new status as a top community college for the region, TVI changed its name to Central New Mexico Community College in 2006.
