As part of its continuing effort to maintain quality academic programs and to provide strong support services, New Mexico State University routinely conducts outcomes assessment activities. The data resulting from these assessments will be published only in aggregate form. Staff members work closely with deans, department heads, faculty, and employers to assist students and alumni in developing suitable career opportunities based on their education, experiences, and interests. Additionally, Placement and Career Services arranges interviews between prospective employers and graduating students and alumni. Current information on employment trends and a comprehensive library of career literature help students make informed decisions.
Many jobs are preprofessional in nature and offer academically related experience.
During the summer months and throughout the academic year, interns may arrange for academic credit for internships. New students requesting assistance should discuss their needs with the coordinator before admission to expedite coordination of services. All continuing students requesting accommodations must discuss their needs with the coordinator before each semester to facilitate continuance of appropriate services. Students have opportunities to participate in diagnostic evaluations and to provide therapy in the areas of speech, language, and hearing for clients across the lifespan. Services for all clients are charged on a semester or summer session basis.
