The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) is a driving force for economic and community development in New Mexico, enhancing lives through innovative academics, research, and Extension programs. With a mission rooted in education and training, ACES focuses on four core pillars:

  • water usage and conservation
  • food and fiber production and marketing
  • environmental stewardship, and
  • family and community health.

These efforts address critical challenges while fostering economic growth and sustainable development, creating a positive and lasting impact in New Mexico and beyond.  

Our Vision: To establish the College of ACES as the premier land-grant institution in the Southwest and a national leader in our areas of expertise, dedicated to advancing the sustainable use and management of arid and semi-arid lands.
