DACC Sees Growth as Higher Ed Rankings Climb

Doña Ana Community College (DACC) has historically seen more students on its campuses, just as new rankings were released that show higher education in New Mexico is climbing in national rankings.

The latest U.S. News & World Report rankings place New Mexico second in the nation for the lowest student debt at graduation. The new rankings, by U.S. News & World Report, puts New Mexico number two in the nation for low debt at graduation. The state was also ranked number eight for low tuition and fees. New Mexico had been number 40 in the nation in 2022. DACC offers affordability and access to many scholarships including the Lottery and Opportunity.

"Our low tuition is a big help for many students, especially those who may not qualify for the Lottery and Opportunity scholarships," says Vice President for Student Services Ike Ledesma. "As a community college, we offer low tuition for students who live outside of New Mexico with our 135-mile tuition discount. We want to ensure that anyone who wants to be a part of us at DACC has the opportunity to do so."

There are more than 45 degrees and 75 certificates available to students who study at DACC. Many of its associate degree plans are designed to transfer to New Mexico State University (NMSU) bachelor degree programs and all degrees/certificates apply to the NMSU Bachelor of Applied Studies.

DACC also offers adult education classes which include English as a Second Language (ESL), High School Equivalency preparation and testing, and Integrated Education Training programs. The college also provides workforce training and support for small businesses.
