The mission of the Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis is to effectively plan and manage UNM's fiscal resources in support of the University's mission of teaching, research, patient care and community service.

The office works with UNM's academic and administrative departments to ensure accurate, efficient and successful budget planning, implementation and reporting practices across all campuses.

We support central administration and departments priorities by identifying, projecting, allocating and managing resources available for operating and capital expenditures and work with state and local governments to ensure the effective management and use of appropriated resources to meet the stated goals of affordability and access for all New Mexicans.
