Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell is very young compared to many educational institutions. Following World War II there was a national junior college movement, and in 1957 legislation was passed that allowed community colleges to be established as branches of existing colleges or universities. Portales Board of Regents acted favorably on a petition by the Roswell School Board to establish a Roswell Community College. There were 157 students meeting at Roswell High School that first semester in 1958. Now the student population is approaching 3,000 each semester, but classes remain small with a low student-faculty ratio.
