The School New Mexico Military Institute was established in 1891 and became a State
(Territorial) School in 1893. Its purpose then and now is "for the education and
training of the youth of this country with a mandate by law to be of as high a
standard as like institutions in other states and territories of the United
States." New Mexico Military Institute is primarily an academic institution
operating within the framework of a military environment.
The junior college curriculum is primarily designed to prepare students to
transfer to four-year colleges and universities as juniors in good standing. An
Associate in Arts degree is awarded upon graduation from the junior college. As
a military junior college, New Mexico Military Institute offers an Army College
ROTC program that permits a young person, in the college, to be commissioned as
a second lieutenant in only two years. Students who receive a commission may
serve in the U.S. Army Reserve or National Guard, or may choose to apply for
active duty upon receipt of their baccalaureate degree.
The high school curriculum is a solid academic college preparatory course of
study. A student may be permitted to take college courses while in high school.

southeastern part of New Mexico. It is within sixty miles of skiing in the
mountains of Ruidoso and within two hundred miles of El Paso to the south,

the Governor of New Mexico. The superintendent is appointed by the Board and is
responsible to them for the day-to-day operations of the school.
