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.
