Disambiguation: Distinct from New Mexico State University (NMSU), a separate land-grant institution in Las Cruces, NM. UNM is the state's flagship university, headquartered in Albuquerque.

The University of New Mexico is a public research university founded on February 28, 1889, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving as the state's flagship institution. It is classified as an R1 Doctoral University with very high research activity and comprises twelve colleges and schools offering 215 degree programs to approximately 22,630 students. While located in a region with significant UFO historical significance (Roswell, green fireballs), UNM itself has limited documented involvement in UAP research; the primary connection is a 1950 FBI note referencing a UNM student who submitted a doctored UFO photograph to the school newspaper. The institution emphasizes research across multiple disciplines, spending over $243 million annually on R&D and serving a predominantly Hispanic student population.
