WHY UNM-TAOS Many people choose UNM-Taos as a path to broader horizons and a better income, a career change or simply the personal pride that comes from committing to a challenging task and following it through to a successful conclusion. Parents, grandparents, and siblings come to UNM-Taos to serve as positive role models, knowing that firstgeneration college students make it easier for the next generation to follow. Some new arrivals to Taos see the UNM-Taos community of learning as a way to get to know the region and its people better, while others want to get that first degree under their belt in order to move on to a four-year university. Location
The spectacular, four-season vistas of Taos Valley and the Sangre de Cristo mountains are an inspiration to students, faculty, and staff. Why leave town when there is so much to experience here? You will understand how tens of millions of well-placed dollars can transform the student experience.
Affordable
At $78 per credit hour, we are one of the most affordable higher education choices in the state. That’s less than half the cost of most four-year public universities, and when it comes to the private and for-profit universities, well, they aren’t even in our league. Combine this with a robust scholarship program, financial aid, and the opportunity to live at home (we’re the only higher education choice within a 50-mile radius) and you’ll soon see why UNM-Taos is a wise economic choice.
That personal touch
We pride ourselves in offering small classes, because in education a close, one-on-one relationship between student and faculty simply works the best. We have academic advisors, specialized programs, free tutoring, assistance with technology, and library services — all with robust remote platforms — to support you through the learning process.
