WHO WE ARE, PART ONE Founded in 1889, when New Mex-
ico was still pretty much the wild
west — and some 23 years before
it became a state — the Univer-
sity of New Mexico grew rapidly.
From just six graduates (all future
teachers) in 1894, UNM rose to
become the flagship university of
New Mexico, and one of the most
respected research universities in
today’s not-nearly-so-wild West.
WHO WE ARE, PART TWO
Today, UNM is home to over
27,000 students on the main
campus in Albuquerque, hailing
from every state in the union
and nearly every country in the
world. Representing and honor-
ing amazing diversity, the stu-
dent body of the University of
New Mexico combines an enor-
mous range of ethnic, cultural
and economic backgrounds.
This diverse learning commu-
nity is both a fitting outgrowth
of New Mexico’s past and a
snapshot of America’s future.
UNM is one of America’s prime
Hispanic-serving institutions,
it is ranked among the top five
in the nation for awarding bac-
calaureate degrees to American
Indians, the list goes on. But
the great thing is that diversity
runs so deep here that it stops
being something unusual and
simply becomes the back-
ground for a group of people
on the way to their future. To
help lead the way, some 2,000
outstanding faculty provide
committed, supportive teaching
and academics of the highest
quality. And more than 140,000
alumni form an accomplished
local and national network of
connection, inspiration and
accomplishment.
YOUR FUTURE IS ON THIS LIST
More than 250 leading-edge de-
gree programs in 13 respected
schools and colleges means just
one thing — you can get there
from here. From business to
Latin American studies, from
chemistry to environmental
science, from earth science edu-
cation to computer engineering
to music to nursing and on and
on, you’ll discover the way to
your rewarding career and your
life of achievement, service and
success. And even if you don’t
really have a clue what you
want to do, UNM is so flexible
and so supportive that you’ll
discover your goals even as you
work toward them.

THE WORLD IS RIGHT HERE.WHERE WE ARE, PART ONE
The main campus of UNM (there
are branch campuses around the
state in Taos, Gallup, Los Alamos
and Valencia) is located on
historic Route 66 in the heart of
Albuquerque, a welcoming city
of some 700,000 people, rich in
entertainment, cultural, education
and internship opportunities. This
is a major university that doesn’t
feel isolated in a small college
town — the school is central to
the life of Albuquerque. And
Albuquerque itself is at the center
of New Mexico, putting you
within range of the extraordinary
combination of scenery, weather
and recreation opportunities that
make America’s fifth-largest state
so special. Hike, bike, ski, board,
raft, run, climb, play — this is the
really great outdoors. But there is
more to it than travel-folder heaven.
There is a forward-looking, goal-
oriented, yet friendly and accept-
ing attitude on campus. You find
a willingness to let people be
who they want to be and follow
their own path. There’s also a
unique campus environment
created by the mix of pueblo-
style and modern architecture —
even with nearly 150 buildings
spread over 600 acres, this is a
place where the buildings make
people feel comfortable, rather
than small or overwhelmed.
Around almost every corner
you’ll find a quiet plaza, fountain
or pond.
WHERE WE ARE, PART TWO
We don’t want to go all New Age
about it, but this is a unique place
for even more reasons. There is
something special about an
environment where hundreds of
years of civilization combine with
a future-focused drive toward
innovation. This is a place of
ancient pueblos and leading-edge
national research labs, a unique
soup of yesterday and tomorrow.
It’s a perfect reflection of a great
education: historical understand-
ing and insight in service to
tomorrow. And one more thing:
a refreshing lack of “noise.” The
New Mexico surroundings some-
how seem to make the many
distractions of the world sort of
fall away. The background noise
seems to be less noticeable here,
which makes it a wonderful place
to focus on study and learning —
and making some noise of your
own. It fits that the world’s largest
hot air balloon festival is held here
each year — rising, soaring and
gaining a new perspective just
somehow seems to be easier to
do here!
NO PASSPORT NEEDED!
Now we’ll admit it, some people
around the country are a little
hazy on the whole New Mexico
thing. They wonder if they need to
speak Spanish to come here. La
respuesta es no, pero es siempre
bueno saber otro lengua. Some
even wonder if they need a
passport to come here! Not if
you’re from one of the other 49
states in the USA, you don’t! On
the other hand, or doodaii’, as
they say in Diné, or Navajo, UNM
is the best passport you’ll find to
help you on the journey to your
goals.
LAND OF THE LABS
New Mexico is justifiably
famous for its natural beauty
and unique culture, but it’s also
the home of two of the world’s
best-known research laborato-
ries: Sandia National Laborato-
ries and Los Alamos National
Laboratories. The close proxim-
ity of these centers of discovery
to a research university of the
quality of UNM puts New
Mexico on the cutting edge of
science and technology — and
you, as a UNM student, in the
center of it all.
ACADEMIC JUMPSTART UNM’s world-class academics and
the unlimited worlds they will
open for you mean that you’re
going to have to be focused and
work hard along the way. Which
is why no university offers more
supportive programs to help you
hit the ground running in your
freshman year. Starting with
LOBO Orientation and the College
Enrichment Program in the
summer before your college
career begins, you and your
family can get the information,
advising, class registration and
familiarity with campus that will
make your first day a breeze.
And your first semester will be
powered by a range of programs,
from Freshman Learning Commu-
nities and Freshman Interest
Groups to community research
opportunities, that will connect
with faculty, fellow students and
new friends.
LOBO LIFE IS BIG LIFE
Start with a beautiful campus
surrounded by a fun, friendly
city surrounded by the Rio
Grande Valley and the Sandia
Mountains, then add 310 days
of sunshine each year, and you
have an amazing place to live
and learn. You already know all
the things you can do off-
campus — if you can find the
time after all the things you can
do on campus. There are always
events and activities going on,
from big-time sports to movies
and concerts to chill time at the
Student Union. The campus
features art galleries, museums,
theaters — and the show is also
pretty good right across the
street at the local-legend Frontier
Restaurant. You can walk to lots
of great restaurants and coffee
shops, and the food...well, entire
books have been written about
the delicious, distinctive New
Mexico cuisine. When it comes
to studying (which it will) UNM
has a wealth of facilities and
resources for your education,
from a world-class library to
dozens of state-of-the-discipline
labs and institutes. It’s easy to
get around campus on foot or by
bike, and a new public transpor-
tation system reaches all the
way north to fabled Santa Fe.
Living on campus is the way to
go, with just about every type of
housing option and meal plan
available to you. You’ll be at the
heart of so much fun and so
many new friends — that’s Lobo
life! Check it out at http://
housing.unm.edu/.
GAME ON
You already know Lobo athletics
are the real deal. UNM fields
teams in 21 sports, including
football, men’s and women’s bas-
ketball, baseball, softball, men’s
and women’s track and field
(indoor and outdoor), men’s and
women’s cross-country, men’s
and women’s soccer, men’s and
women’s tennis, women’s
swimming and diving, men’s and
women’s golf, skiing and
volleyball. The Lobos play in the
ultra-competitive Mountain West
Conference of the NCAA’s
Division 1. And from University
Stadium to the Pit (one of college
basketball’s most famous arenas)
the Lobo sport venues are just as
outstanding as the games. Get
the whole picture at www.
golobos.com.
GETTING HERE, PART ONE: FINANCIAL AID
Which do you want first, the
good news or the good news?
OK, the good news is that UNM
is one of the best educational
values in America, whether you
are an in-state or out-of-state
student. The quality/cost ratio is
way in your favor. The good
news is that UNM has a vigorous
financial aid and scholarship
program, and nearly nine of
every 10 UNM students receive
some form of financial aid,
including grants and loans,
student employment and
competitive scholarships.
Full-time tuition and fees for
2009-2010 are:
N.M. Resident — $5,101
(New Mexico residents may also
be eligible for lottery-funded
tuition aid)
Non-resident — $17,254
Residence hall room and
board costs:
Traditional hall, basic meal
plan — $7,746
Books and Supplies — $920

GETTING HERE, PART TWO: VISIT UNM
You can’t really know until you
go! It’s all just words and pictures
until you see and feel in person
how special UNM really is. Come

students and faculty, discover the
opportunities and surprises that
