New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

New Mexico Tech, or NMT, is devoted to excellence in education and research. The atmosphere is casual and each student can expect to be recognized as a distinct individual. NMT students may choose from programs in the earth sciences, physical and biological sciences, engineering disciplines, technical communication, mathematics, management, computer science, and information technology. Breadth and enrichment are provided by supporting programs in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Students gain a liberal education, as well as a thorough science, mathematics, and engineering education. At NMT there is no artificial distinction between pure and applied research and no sharp dividing line between teaching and research. NMT students are challenged to learn, to think in the abstract, and to bring abstractions to bear on practical situations. Employment of students in the many research facilities and in departmental research is central to NMT's programs.
