The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is a public research university in El Paso, at the westernmost tip of Texas (United States), where three states and two countries meet along the Rio Grande. It opened on 23 September 1914 as the Texas State School of Mines and Metallurgy. UTEP has about 26,000 students, 85% of them Hispanic, and describes itself as the country's leading Hispanic-serving university. Its 420-acre campus is known for its Bhutanese-inspired architecture.

UTEP offers about 170 bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programmes. Popular fields include biological sciences, nursing, psychology, education, computer science, mechanical engineering, criminal justice and finance, and research areas include aerospace, cancer, 3D printing, cybersecurity, bilingual education and cross-border economics. Colleges include the Woody L. Hunt College of Business and the Miguel A. Loya College of Engineering.

International first-year applicants apply through ApplyTexas, pay a US$65 fee and submit official transcripts and entrance exam scores, such as the SAT, ACT, TOEFL iBT (61), PTE or the Spanish-language PAA. Transcripts in Spanish are accepted without an English translation. Applicants also complete a Confirmation of Financial Resources form, and the Office of International Programs provides further support.
