The overall mission of the NMSU-Alamogordo biology program is to:

• prepare NMSU-A students for specialized training in the allied health fields
• to prepare NMSU-A students for upper division education in the biological sciences
• to provide NMSU-A non-science majors with the biology background that they need to understand biologically-relevant current events

    The NMSU-A biology cluster is located in the Charles R. Reidlinger
    Science Center.  The Science Center, which is located on the campus of
    NMSU-Alamogordo, houses the biology, chemistry, geology, and phyics
    laboratories, as well as the Helen. D. Tays Computer Center.  The Science 
    Center also houses the offices of many of the instructors within the Division
    of Math, Science, and Technology. 
    The NMSU-A biology cluster is coordinated by Marcia Skaar, Associate
    Professor of Biology and Medical Laboratory Technology.  The Division of 
    Math, Science, and Technology, which subsumes the biology program, is 
    chaired by Roberta Himebrook, Professor of Mathematics.
