University of New Mexico

About

At the heart of The University of New Mexico is a culture of discovery, inclusion, and excellence. Founded in 1889 as the state's flagship institution, UNM has grown into a premier public research university that occupies nearly 800 acres near historic Route 66 in Albuquerque. We are a community that values the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of our students, faculty, and staff, recognizing that our differences are our strength. As a Minority Serving Institution, we represent a cross-section of cultures and are dedicated to providing an environment where everyone belongs. Our mission is to serve as a beacon of higher learning, fostering an educated, healthy, and economically vigorous New Mexico through teaching, research, patient care, and community service. We are driven by a set of core values that guide our every action: excellence in all we do, integrity in our dealings, and a deep respect for the environment and the place we call home. We strive to be a global leader in realizing human potential and addressing critical community challenges. Our faculty and staff are committed to generating intellectual and cultural contributions that enhance the quality of life for all. From our Pueblo Revival architectural theme to our cutting-edge research facilities, UNM offers a distinctive campus environment that echoes the rich heritage of the region while looking firmly towards the future. We invite you to join our pack and be part of a tradition that lights the life of man.
