UTEP’s long-term success will require the effective use of strategic advantages that are difficult for others to replicate. These strategies – which build on our inherent assets – will be woven into many of the initiatives we will undertake to accomplish our goals.
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.
