Our Mission

The mission of the Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell HVAC-R program is to provide high quality, easily accessible, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration training to meet the employment needs of southeastern New Mexico.

Heating, ventilation, air conditioning-refrigeration (HVACR) systems control temperature, humidity, and the total air quality in residential, commercial, and industrial structures worldwide. Additionally, the food service and medical industries rely very heavily upon the reliability of heating and cooling systems. HVACR technicians install, repair, and maintain these systems using strong mathematical skills, computer literacy, and communication skills, in addition to hands-on skills related to the latest technology specific to HVACR equipment, tools, and systems. Student certification fees may apply and can vary from year to year.

Degree Plan (A. A. S.)

ENMU-Roswell offers a Certificate of Occupational Training and an Associate of Applied Science degree in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning-Refrigeration (HVAC-R) Technology. ENMU-Roswell also offers a Certificate of Occupational Training in Commercial Refrigeration.
