U.S. News not a fan of New Mexico - Gabe - 11-17-2008
It's not unusual for U.S. News to have schools like Northcentral, American InterContinental, and similar colleges in the "unranked" category. I don't understand it exactly, but I've accepted it. (I'm guessing it's simply the non-traditional approach they take.)
What I had never seen, until yesterday, was a traditional college in the unranked category. This college has been discussed here and the other boards for launching some cheap online programs. Who is it?
Western New Mexico University

What about the rest of New Mexico state schools?
New Mexico Highlands- 4th Tier
Eastern New Mexico- 4th Tier
University of New Mexico- 3rd Tier
New Mexico State- 4th Tier
Northern New Mexico College- Not even listed (Formerly a technical/community college but they have had NCA approval since 2004 to confer bachelor degrees)
There is an exception: New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology did get a Tier 1 ranking and is ranked 16th in the west:
