THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO
2030 STRATEGIC PLAN
UTEP is a comprehensive public research university that is increasing access to excellent higher education. We advance discovery of public value and positively impact the health, culture, education, and economy of the community we serve.
More than five years ago, UTEP drafted an ambitious, 10-year strategic plan to focus our energy and embrace who we are – America’s Leading Hispanic-Serving University.
Now past the plan’s midway point, we remain a university that transforms lives.
The University of Texas at El Paso is at the heart of a vibrant city located at the westernmost tip of Texas, where three states and two countries converge along a 54-mile section of the Rio Grande in the mountainous Chihuahuan Desert.
Deeply woven into the University’s character are the distinctive strengths of the people whom we serve.
With a focus on developing the talent of those who have grown up in our region, UTEP has emerged as America’s most successful Hispanic-serving university.
Partnerships are remarkably strong in the region. The alignment in West Texas among public school districts, El Paso Community College and the University is exceptional.
"When we reflect on this decade of UTEP’s history, it is my hope that this strategic plan will have been an important tool that helped us to focus our work and guide the way.”
