New Mexico Highlands University Reviews

"A very close knit campus in Albuquerque; NMHU is better suited towards the adult or working student who is focused on their academic progress and career goals."

"It was a good choice because of the small class sizes and lower prices."

"I enjoyed taking classes here! The Professors are nice and helpful! I took online classes and classes in Rio Rancho as well. There was plenty of time for discussion in class and questions. The texts that were required for class were helpful and informative!"

"I wish that the professors knew more about their content area and practiced a higher degree of professionalism. I am getting a degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling and I have had experience with counseling myself and am currently undergoing therapy. This is because I have always valued therapy as a process to explore my challenges and strengths, my feelings and behaviors and my goals and aspirations. Many of the professors gave wrong information and I could have taught the classes better. The classes should ne taught by experienced professors who have worked in the field enough to find what really works and see results.Read Less"

"It was a good college with good professors and I was happy with the overall experience."

"This school is great the instructors are there to help you. Especially because the student to teacher ratio is 12:1. I love this."

"The Public Affairs program at my University is very good since it gives the students a different feel for politics. The pros are that the University's student body is very diverse and it helps the program with different ideologies. The professors in the program are specialized in different fields and students are exposed to those fields such as international politics, state and local government, and law. Students are able to experience a very personal relationship with the professors unlike bigger Universities. The program also helps the students find jobs or internships in the political world. The cons would be that the program has little money or resources to offer the students. At times students may have to leave the program since it is to expensive for students to stay in school. There is very few students that are interested in politics and the Public Affairs needs to approach more students to enter the program. Overall the Public Affairs program is a good program and I love being part of Highlands University.Read Less"

"My experience with NMHU School of Social Work has been excellent! I would recommend this program to anybody because of the high quality of education it provides. NMHU has made possible that I continue with my Graduate education goals in the comfort of my community by providing numerous campus branches in different cities in the state of NM. Thankfully, in the Roswell NM campus we have low ratio of students to teachers and their availability for help is immense. One of the down falls of this however, is technology. Since, NM is such a Rural state, different sites relay on ITV instruction and that sometimes fails or makes it difficult for students in those areas to be in constant communication with the instructors or other peers.Read Less"

"Highlands seems to take an interest in their students and try to help them out as much as possible. I enjoy this university and see it as a place where myself, and anyone can thrive as a student and advance their educational studies."

"In rural NM. Offers a strong and competitive program considering the size of the university"

"The Educational Leadership program at New Mexico Highlands University is designed for the working adult who either is already working or intends on working immediately upon completion in the field of Education Administration. I cannot say enough about the full-time faculty in the department. They are experienced, knowledgeable, compassionate and completely open to sharing the tools needed to be a successful administrator. Passion for positive change in the field of education runs like a silk thread through the department. I can't believe I get to have this experience for such a good price. The only downside to this degree is that there are a couple of classes that have to be taken outside of the department where some of the teachers leave much to be desired. I would tell others to ask around, specifically about the statistics teachers, before registering for a class outside of the Educational Leadership department.Read Less"

"I know the graduate program is difficult but the pros are endless. Having the opportunity to continue my education is a great accomplishment and I know it will give me more insight into how the government works, and the world of law. I do not feel there is any cons of my graduate program because it is such a benefit to be able to continue my education."

"I am very happy with New Mexico Highlands University. The professors and advisors are extremely helpful and patient, and provide students with high quality assistance."

"Very small classes, therefore teachers have more time to help students one on one, everyone participates in class, and students get to know all of their classmates. I have not really found much that could be seen as negative. The teachers in the program are great and very understanding. They are always willing to help and motivate students. I love this program and its faculty."

"This program prepares students extensively for this field, however, the school's financial aid and administrative services leave a bit to be desired."

"Inexpensive and able to attend face to face classes as NMHU has a partnership with ENMU-Roswell"

"There are good instructors that know how to treat students and know their subject. There are other instructors that think that overloading students is a way to teach students. It is not. I would appreciate more teachers that work on teaching their subject than overloading on reading and homework."

"NMHU has been nothing but helpful during my application process. After being accepted, I was contacted immediately and put in touch with fellow students as well as faculty members. The school has helped me find financial aid, housing options, and has made it possible to contact appropriate staff members for any and all questions I might have or help I might need. I am looking forward to attending NMHU this Fall because I already feel like I belong there! Thank you NMHU for alleviating a lot of the stress that comes with going to graduate school!Read Less"

"Great hands-on experience and the faculty are always there to answer any questions."

"I love the faculty and everyone there. They always are happy to help and answer any questions. I think the only con is I wish the campus was larger so we could have more diversity of students on campus."
