UNM offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. Degrees in all traditional specializations within Civil Engineering.
UNM is a great place to study! If you are serious about a degree in CE, you should be considering UNM.
Here's Why:
You want a real-world education.
All our faculty are licensed professional engineers. Many have extensive working experience outside academia; yet all
have degrees from leading universities. This translates into a curriculum that has a unique balance between fundamental
engineering concepts and real world practical knowledge that no other program can offer. In fall of 2002, 100 percent
UNM CE students taking the FE exam passed...testimony to a solid education that few universities can claim.CE FACULTY
You want some attention.
If you want graduate classes with 40 students, go someplace else. UNM's graduate CE classes often have less than 12 or
15 students. What's more, all classes are taught by professors or highly qualified adjuncts, not teaching assistants. Our
program is student oriented, with superb faculty-student interaction and lots of individual attention. ABOUT UNM
You want a school with great resources
CE at UNM has well equipped structural, geotechnical, hydraulic and environmental labs, as well as great student
computing resources and a research site on the banks of Rio Grande. CE has close relations with other departments on
campus as well as the Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs, which provides great access to high tech resources,
funding opportunities and exciting research projects. As a Carnegie Doctoral/Research-Extensive University, UNM
competes with the best universities in America. As a minority-serving institution, UNM often has special funding opportunities...
and CE awards more scholarship dollars to its students than any other department in the School of Engineering. UNM
has been recognized as a school offering "the best value for your tution dollar." CE RESOURCES
You want to have some fun.
After finishing a long day of studying, who wants to be surrounded by nothing but cornfields? Whether you like skiing,
hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, whitewater rafting, fishing, kayaking or golfing, you'll find it in or very near
Albuquerque. Our climate has low humidity and lots of sunshine and because Albuquerque is 5,000 feet above msl, the
temperatures are much more comfortable than you might expect. CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE
