WE COME FROM A PLACE OF PR I DE . O F F I C E O F T H E V I C E P R E S I D E N T F O R R E S E A R C H With a mission to promote innovation and discovery, the OVPR oversees ten research centers and institutes, brings faculty and students from different disciplines together and has a strategic, five-year plan for advancing research.

They can. And do. After all, The University of New Mexico is an R1 research institution. That means we’re a “Highest Research Activity” doctoral university according to the prestigious Carnegie Classification—one of only 131 such institutions in the country and the only one in the state. And perhaps even more impressive is our distinction as a minority-majority university. The majority of our student body identify as multiethnic or as racial minorities, which means points of view are as expansive as our landscape. This leads not just to different solutions being discovered, but to entirely different problems being addressed and real-world problems being solved. Students, faculty and staff excel together in a wide range of research, from neuroscience to medieval studies. Expect a mind-broadening collaborative environment unlike any other. U N M C A M P U S E S Our main and branch campuses are situated across miles of New Mexico. HEALTH SCIENCES RIO RANCHO CAMPUS LOS ALAMOS TAOS GALLUP VALENCIA ALBUQUERQUE U N M R E S E A R C H | 0 3
