Reena

UTEP is known for believing in the potential of every student, there are active movements to remove financial and educational barriers from going to college. It is a double edged sword in that it helps in economic mobility, but also holds behind high achieving students in early basic coursework.

Valerie

UTEP is best known for their engineering department and business department. We have a high level of engineers and a large amount of business students in our university.

Valerie

The Business and Engineering Colleges here at UTEP are some of the best in the Southwest.

Carina

The college of Engineering and Medicine are what my school is best known for.

Sandra

Unfortunately for me my school is best known for its bussiness and engineering programs. It is a great school if anyone intends to go into those areas. In my area health sciences it definitely lacks but it continues to improve. The engineering program has been ranked among the top ten in the nation. For the business program it has been ranked at least once top 3 in the nation. This is quite impressive for such small school and a school so unique as this one.

The University of Texas at El Paso is hugely known for its hispanic population, having a 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} hispanic percentage. Even more thorough though, UTEP is more so seen as a place that truly cares about finding a way to help kids make their dreams come true. For example, UTEP has taken it in their power to help and allow Juarez, Mexico students join UTEP as a source for higher learning. Through a lot of schools, that I see, care more about money, UTEP truly cares more about it students and how it can help people in general.

On March 19, 1966, coach Don Haskins won the NCAA title with his team. They made a movie about it. But UTEP is now known as an accesible university, where many people turn to for higher education. Not many people know that the atmosphere of living alongside a very active city makes people more friendly. UTEP is known for its excelence in bringing education to more and more people every day.

Fabian

Its high hispanic attendance. About 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student population is hispanic, so the environment has a great difference from other universities. Because of its quality of education, and its high rate of hispanic students, UTEP has being considered twice the best school for hispanics, according to the Hispanic Bussines magazine.

Jazmin

My school is best known for its involvement within the El Paso community. It emphasizes the idea of giving back to our community by doing community service. Various examples include tutoring students in local high schools, going to shelters and helping out with anything, we also have a community service day in which anyone within the UTEP community is able to participate.

Jimena

I think for people who may not live in the area or attend the school, UTEP may be mostly known for the 1966 Texas Western basketball team, which was the first to allow African-American players to star in the team. For those who now UTEP a little more, it is known to have excellent Engineering and Business colleges. I personally belive that all the colleges in UTEP are great.
