This study represents the first formal effort of the University of New Mexico (UNM) to develop an in-depth, long-range master plan for its Gallup Branch Community College (GBCC). It includes: (1) a description of the GBCC district (geography, culture, transportation, population projections, employment, and manpower needs); (2) a description of GBCC itself (history, philosophy, mission and goals, governance structure, enrollment trends, ethnic distribution of students, enrollment projections to 1985, programs and services, finances, and facilities); (3) a brief description of UNM and its relationship to GBCC; (4) a description of the public high schools in the district; and (5) results of questionnaires sent to all the high school seniors within the GBCC district and to all GBCC students (career goals, financial needs, age, and educational background). Following these presentations are suggestions and recommendations, including an academic plan and a capital outlay plan. Appended are demographic data for the GBCC district, the two questionnaires, and a legislative history of branch colleges. (DC)
