My experience with Western New Mexico University (WNMU), has so far been exciting. It's been social, adventurous, academic, challenging, and most importantly it's been rewarding. This is an amazing university with several opportunities available to any and all of its students.
Excellent teachers! Online classes are engaging and interactive, but at the same time flexible for busy schedules. Wide variety of degree programs to choose from. Great attitude for staff who aides in assistance from advisors to registars.
As a student, it's almost impossible to get away with only taking courses face-to-face. Now with this pandemic, it is required to take online courses. I have never had an issue with taking my courses online. All the professors here are extremely lenient, understanding, supportive, and flexible.
