You didn't apply to Taos State - You were already admitted. Somewhere between the second green chile and a view that made no logical sense.
Taos State University is not a school you find. It's a school that finds you, usually after you've decided to stay a few more days than planned.
Founded "A Long Time Ago", TSU runs on a single conviction: that wisdom can't be scheduled, enlightenment doesn't need a parking permit, and 7,000 feet of high desert is, and always has been, an excellent place to think.
We confer no degrees recognized by any accrediting body. We confer something better: the calm, unshakable sense that you've been here before. The GoDogs agree. They've seen everyone come through.

Our Records are incomplete, and archives were never formally kept. What follows is the closest thing to an official account.
Two prairie dogs of opposing temperament. One is mellow, cosmic, unhurried. The other is perpetually alarmed. Together they cover the full emotional range of living in Taos.
There is no campus: the mesa is the classroom, altitude is the curriculum, and getting a little lost on the way here counts, officially, as orientation.
It sits above the GoDogs on the seal, radiating. We're told it represents infinite wisdom. We're also told not to ask too many follow-up questions about it.
You don't enroll so much as arrive. There's no application, no tuition, and no graduation. The only way to represent the school is to wear it — and the only way to do that is to come to the TSU bookstore.
No syllabus, no spam. We write when there's a new drop or a reason to leave the house.
Every piece of Taos State gear lives at Taos Lifestyle, our official on-campus bookstore. No online store. No shipping. You have to actually show up — which is, in fact, the entire point.
