THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO
There’s something about our spectacular mountain vistas and never-ending Southwest skies that inspire us to achieve at the University of Texas at El Paso.
From our founding in 1914 as the state’s first school of mines to the 20,000 student-strong university we’ve become today, we give students the educational tools to succeed.
We see this in the success of our graduates, the true measure of a university’s caliber. Among our 80,000 alumni are a NASA astronaut, a legendary television newsman, CEOs and VPs of international businesses, best-selling authors, acclaimed educators, engineers, doctors, researchers, attorneys, judges…
A Hispanic-serving institution committed to the ideals of access and excellence, UTEP is the only major research university in the country whose students are predominantly Mexican-American.
Our location on the U.S.-Mexico border allows us to offer unique academic and research programs. When it comes to research spending, we rank among the top academic institutions in the UT System and the public universities in the state – with more than $46 million in fiscal year 2007.
Our graduates, educated in a multicultural setting, are highly sought after by companies and organizations seeking a diverse workforce.
We’re changing the face of higher education.
