UNM Peer Institutions
Peer institutions are selected as a means to benchmark university performance against a set of similar institutions. The Higher Education Department (HED) Peer Group is comprised of institutions that the New Mexico HED recognizes as our institutional peers. The IPEDS comparison set is comprised of public research universities from a broader national selection of institutions.
Peer Institutions Approved by the Higher Education Department
The peers were chosen because their academic program offerings, enrollments, and mission closely resemble UNM's.
