My undergraduate program at New Mexico Highlands University was a fantastic experience. I transferred from San Juan College when I graduated with my Associate's Degree. I went through the Social Work Program, attending through the Farmington, NM branch. The academic experience was not strenuous but challenged me to be involved with the school and the community. The internships I had throughout my program have been helpful and provided insight as to what I wanted to do for my career in Social Work. My internships taught me skills I need to refine and what I need to learn more about, like specific approaches and interpersonal skills. The program taught me a sense of accountability for my education and my drive to be in Social Work. It was daunting in certain areas, like making connections and advocating for myself. Although, if I was not challenged I think I would not have made it as far as I would have in the profession.
New Mexico Highlands University is a good center of learning.
I like the way the Lecturers teach and they are also nice, always ready to assist student with any problem.
The one thing I would love is to see more scholarships for international students.
The scholarships are limited and International students need more scholarship to help with financial issues.
Also students don't really socialize with each other. I think the University should bring up programs that can help students meet with each other.
Aside from this. New Mexico Highlands University is a great school.

NMHU is a good school serving the population of New Mexico as well as students from abroad.
I would like to see a greater effort to support and provide classes that accommodate non-traditional students. If classes were provided with several time slots available it would benefit the nontraditional student. This would enhance the overall experience of college life for this population and allow for greater success in degree completion rates overall.
Additionally, I would like to see greater diversity in graduate degree area of study options within several programs. Specifically, within the social work program, there is a very limited range of areas of focus. Due to our ever-changing dynamic global realities, it is important that university areas of focus at the graduate level respond appropriately to the clear need for more diverse specialization.
