TRANSFORMATIVE
RESEARCH AT THE
HIGHEST LEVEL
Why should you attend a top-tier research university like UNM?
Put simply, it's the difference between learning from someone who
teaches from a textbook and someone who writes it.
At UNM, we offer more opportunities to students through
hands-on learning from some of the brightest minds in academia.
In fact, UNM is the only university in New Mexico classified by the
Carnegie Commission on Higher Education as R1.
We are a Very High Research Activity university that attracts
outstanding faculty and students who push the boundaries in their
fields every day.
