My Sincere Welcome To You

Welcome!  ¡Bienvenidos!

Dr. Margie Huerta,
DACC President

           On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration of Doña Ana Community College, we welcome you to our campus and wish you success in your academic endeavors.  Doña Ana Community College prides itself on the premise that “Students Come First”.  Students are first in terms of us providing a comprehensive academic program that is relevant to the local workforce.  In this way we hope to prepare you to enter into the workforce well-prepared in the career of your choice. 

            Students come first as we develop resources to assist you in succeeding and attaining your goals.  Students come first when we plan for the future in constructing educational sites to meet the needs of Doña Ana County residents.  Our expanded and flexible class schedule puts students first as we develop options for students that have full-time or part-time jobs, as well as those students that have family responsibilities that may interfere with regular class schedules.

            The DACC family has a strong commitment to providing accessibility and affordability to higher education in our community.  In addition to the extended centers and classes, hands-on training in the field is a major part of our career programs.  DACC offers support services in the areas of skill assessment, financial aid, tutoring and career services, all free of charge to students.  In addition, low tuition costs and small classes offer quality instruction that is attractive to our diverse population.

            We invite you to explore all the choices offered at DACC and should you have questions that cannot be answered using our website, please contact us directly at (575) 527-7500.
