The community is not limited to New Mexico or even the nation. To promote an increasingly international community of our members, students are encouraged to study abroad. Research and teaching The Tech community is passionately committed to excellence in teaching closely coupled with strong research programs involving both undergraduate and graduate students. Teaching and research are two sides to the same coin. Our strong research programs focus in the areas in which we teach.
Professors draw upon their research to demonstrate the applicability of what they are teaching.
And both undergraduate and graduate students learn to apply the theory they studied in class through their participation in these research programs. Promotion Having determined its role as an educational and research institution, New Mexico Tech devotes sufficient resources to promote its uniqueness and value, to New Mexico especially and to the nation as a whole.
