Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 25,039 enrolled students, The University of Texas at El Paso is the 146th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,439 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: South Texas College (0.22/1k); Sam Houston State University (3.09/1k); Baylor University (7.51/1k); The University of Texas at Dallas (1.20/1k); San Antonio College (0.95/1k); San Jacinto Community College (0.31/1k); Lamar University (2.48/1k); Tarleton State University (1.15/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (Long Beach City College is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at The University of Texas at El Paso fell from 18 to 16 (-11%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (5 to 8), Rape (1 to 2) and Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (10 to 4) and Arson (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at The University of Texas at El Paso
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Rape, Arson and Robbery.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Fondling, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where The University of Texas at El Paso sits on price and outcomes
At $9,403, The University of Texas at El Paso's reported average net price is cheaper than 20% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- average net price

- six-year earnings to median debt
- $10,419
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $7,863, while those above $110,000 record $18,282 - roughly 2.3 times as much. A published average of $9,403 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $37,978 - about 4.0 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
