A TOP RESEARCH UNIVERSITY
The University of Texas at El Paso received the R1 designation, which stands for “Research 1: Very High Research Spending and Doctorate Production,” by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education in December
2018, and it was reaffirmed in 2022 and 2025. UTEP is among only 187 R1 universities — out of nearly 4,000 degree-granting institutions in the U.S. — placing it in the top 5% of all universities when it comes to research.
