The New Mexico Tech Community Education Program provides credit and non-credit enrichment courses in Physical Recreation, Studio Arts , Lifestyle Activities, general Community Education, and Certification programs. Courses are open to New Mexico Tech students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community. No degrees are offered through the Community Education Program.

Community Education courses may be found on Banweb class schedules with the following prefixes:

  • CONC (Community Education Non-Credit)

  • CERT (Certification programs non-credit)

  • CEFA (Studio Art Enrichment courses)

  • LIFE (Lifestyle non-credit)

  • MUSV (Music Performance enrichment courses)

  • CEPR (Physical Recreation enrichment courses)

Community Education classes, which are signified by a "C" following the course number, are graded on an satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U also known as pass/fail) basis and can be used as elective credit in most majors. Community Education credit classes do not count towards Core General Education requirements. The Community Education Program also offers non-credit courses such as Wine Tasting and cooking classes.

Full-time undergraduate students do not pay extra tuition when these courses are part of their 12-18 hour course load. Full-time graduate students may enroll for 1 credit of Community Education coursework beyond their 12 hour credit limit, at no extra charge (see graduate catalog for restrictions).

Students who are not pursuing a degree program, such as community members or staff, are classified as non-degree seeking students. They are limited to a maximum of six credit hours per semester. Non-degree students who have never taken a class at Tech need to complete an Application for Admission Form and can do this application through the office of Community Education. After being admitted, students will be able to register for courses and can do so through the Office of the Registrar or Community Education.

A great deal of information may be found at the department website at www.nmt.edu/ce including downloadable catalogs with course descriptions. To speak with someone about the Community Education program, please visit the offices in Fidel 288 or call 575.835.6581
