University of New Mexico Reviews

"I'm enrolled in an MPA program at the School of Public Administration. I'm actually really pleased with the program and I have no complaints except for the cost of education."

"The LLSS graduate program in Bilingual Education is great. The professors are accessible and fantastic mentors and the tuition cost is unbeatable."

"Early clinical exposure and affordability are great. Phase I lectures are very hit or miss."

"UNM is heavy invested in public health, which is an often overlooked part of medicine and nice to have in the curriculum. Blocks and rotations are not consistently organized, and some successful strategies in one course are not carried out to the other courses. The residents are generally very happy to have students around and are willing to teach and include students on the team. Students rarely compete with each other, given the pass/fail system and the friendly environment; we work together rather than against each other."

"As a music graduate student your requirements for class work are minimal, so the amount of time you have to practice and do your own studies is extensive. For a self-motivated student, this program is exceptional as there is renowned faculty to work with and time for your own, inspired learning."

"I appreciate that this is a CACREP accredited program. This means that this program will prepare me to be a good candidate for many future roles as a counselor upon graduation. However, what I find limiting from this program is the financial aid, which is a bit scarce for Master's students."

"moderate living cost and student diversity are the strongest part of UNM. Funding problem in few departments might not encourage international students to apply."

"Although I am a new student to this program and cannot speak to the entire graduate program, I have found the faculty to be highly engaged and captivating. The program is thorough and I enjoy that it is part of the medical school. We have quality of the facilities is excellent. We have a state of the art gait lab as well as a good cadaver lab with a four to one student cadaver ratio. I am satisfied with my decision to attend this program and anticipate a quality education."

"It is a competitive, challenging program that will definitely make students highly qualified and aware teachers. Unfortunately tuition keeps getting more expensive drastically and most professors are not available. There are student resources and financial aid available, but many students do not know they exist or how to have access to them."

"The graduate program is geared towards working professionals looking to gain a higher education, which is clearly seen in their evening class schedule. However, the course work can be overbearing if you work a full time job and take more than nine credit hours per semester."

"More expensive than community colleges in the area, but very good faculty and resources. Good standing with local schools for student teaching/employment opportunities."

"The UNM School of Law offers small class sizes and the faculty are very approachable and very interested in student success. The limited specialty interest course options can be discouraging."

"The University of New Mexico College of Education is centered on positive engagement and involvement in research and communication aimed at strengthening individual and collective knowledge of the issues prevalent in the field of secondary education and the opportunity to develop and apply new and highly effective methods for overcoming those issues."

"The architecture graduate program at UNM is essentially a full-time job for about 2.5 years. On top of this "job" you still need to find ways to afford a living. The thing about this program though is that if you enjoy what you're doing there, it doesn't feel like a job at all."

"UNM is a great opportunity for anyone looking to further their career in a rigorous and innovative program."

"PROS: A real focus on evidence based practice with a strong drive for increasing Occupational Therapy's role in the healthcare profession CONS: I have some doubts about the admissions process and the criteria by which they select students, given that I know several highly qualified individuals who were not accepted to the program"

"Pros: financial aid, diversity Cons: lack of oversight by area heads of students and faculty, avg graduation time is 7+ years, no advisor mgmt training, dept graduation ceremonies focus on undergraduate and faculty accomplishments (little mention of grad student success)"

"Because this will be my first semester in graduate school, I don't know if I can adequately grade the program. However, from what I have experienced thus far, the faculty in the Family Studies program has been such a great help with the application and registration process. Also, my advisor has responded to emails with my questions and concerns in a very timely matter."

"I enjoy the small class sizes and close knit community of this school. The architecture building, designed by Antoine Predock, is a fairly new structure and is nice to work in. An internship program would be really helpful, as well as more help with career placement. Overall the professors and the advisers are easily accessible and helpful."

"Pros: great faculty and program design; inexpensive in-state tuition; competitive Cons: stingy on financial aid; not enough guidance during your first year; lack of communication within the department"
