Our
philosophy is geared toward building strong bonds between
experienced faculty mentors and graduate students so
that every student may realize their potential as researcher
and teacher in one of the basic sciences, computer science
and mathematics, the earth sciences, or several engineering
fields. This uncommon attitude combined with the freedom
to design much of one's emphasis, results in a stimulating
and personal atmosphere.
New
Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology - informally
known as New Mexico Tech - is a small (~1300 undergraduate
and 300 graduate students), but respected research university
founded in 1889. Today, the Institute is internationally
known for its accomplishments in diverse academic areas
including atmospheric physics, astrophysics and materials
engineering. U.S. News and World Report (America's Best
Colleges 2001) has ranked our engineering programs as
"among the best in the nation." The same source
ranks our graduate petroleum engineering program in
the top ten and our graduate hydrology program among
the top four in the nation. New Mexico Tech's associations
with major research organizations (Sandia and Los Alamos
National Labs, National Radio Astronomy Observatory,
Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, Petroleum
Recovery Research Center, Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric
Research, the Geophysical Research Center, and the Program
for Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere)
promote cutting edge research collaboration for New
Mexico Tech faculty and graduate students.
With
a graduate student population which is ~30% international,
New Mexico Tech draws students from around the world
including representatives from Europe, Asia, Africa,
and South America. An overwhelming majority of graduate
students at New Mexico Tech receive financial aid in
the form of competitive assistantships, fellowships,
study grants, or part-time employment.
The
Institute offers high quality Master of Science degrees
in: biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering
mechanics, environmental engineering, geology, geochemistry,
geophysics, hydrology, materials engineering, mathematics,
mineral engineering, petroleum engineering, physics
and science teaching. Doctoral programs include: chemistry,
computer science, earth science (emphasizing geology,
geochemistry, geophysics, or hydrology), materials engineering,
petroleum engineering, and physics.
Research
and Graduate Study Emphases include:
hydrology:
isotope, stochastic modeling, water quality, contamination,
remediation
geochronology,
rock deformation, sedimentary geology, volcanology,
high and low temperature geochemistry, soils geomorphology,
mineral research
laser
and plasma processing, ferroelectric ceramics, explosives
applied to materials; high energy materials and explosives
engineering
chemistry:
organic, natural products, environmental and atmospheric;
nuclear, atomic and molecular spectroscopy
analysis of ancient DNA, deep subsurface microbiology,
species diversity
The
Institute is located in Socorro, a friendly community
of over 9,000 people located in the valley of the Rio
Grande, 75 miles south of Albuquerque. Socorro's year-round
mild climate is ideal for the many outdoor activities
that abound in the area (hiking, camping, rock climbing,
bicycling, running, golfing, horseback riding, river
rafting, and many other pursuits). Developed winter
sports areas are as close as Albuquerque. Albuquerque
also offers museums, music, theater, and many other
cultural attractions.
The
North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools accredits New Mexico Tech as a doctoral degree-granting
university and the Institute is classified as a
"Doctoral/Research University--Intensive"
by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
New Mexico Tech is authorized to issue paperwork necessary
for obtaining F-1 and J-1 visas for study in the United
States of America.
