The University of Texas at El Paso has made great strides in building capacity and creating an environment of growth for research. With $108 million in annual research expenditures in FY 2019, UTEP is designated a top tier research university by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. This achievement is due in part to the capital investment the University has made in research equipment and facilities, an investment that has facilitated the recruitment and retention of faculty who successfully compete at the national level. UTEP’s success is also enhanced by the supportive climate for research, creative, and scholarly activities in all of the University’s colleges.
