About This School

University of New Mexico-Gallup Campus is a public institution located in Gallup, New Mexico with approximately 808 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,868 per year. The graduation rate is 19%, and the typical graduate earns $43,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

This campus is best suited for students from the Gallup area who need an affordable, close-to-home starting point — particularly those balancing work, family, or financial constraints that make a traditional four-year experience unrealistic right now. At just $4,868 per year after aid, the cost is genuinely hard to beat, and for students who need a low-barrier entry into higher education, that matters. That said, the 19% graduation rate is a serious red flag that deserves an honest conversation — it suggests most students who start here don't finish, which can reflect challenges with student support, scheduling, life circumstances, or program completion pathways. The median earnings of $43,900 a decade out are modest but reasonable given the region's economy, and the $18,450 median debt load is manageable if a student does complete a credential. My honest advice: if you're considering this school, go in with a clear plan — know exactly which program you're pursuing, talk to an advisor before your first semester, and treat the low cost as an opportunity to stay debt-light while you figure out your next step, not as a reason to drift without a goal.
