Founded in 1866, the University of New Hampshire is a public University
serving an undergraduate population of 10,500 students. Recognized
among public universities for the quality of the academic experience
it provides to its students, UNH is also a rising star among research
universities, yet it retains the look and feel of a New England
liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching.
A comprehensive land-, sea-, and space-grant university, UNH offers
diverse curricula in which students are encouraged to pursue their
interests across disciplinary lines. Within its seven schools,
the University offers 2,000 courses in over 100 majors, and special
programs include a particularly strong undergraduate research
program, the honors program, and a wide range of opportunities
for internships, study abroad, and national exchange experiences.
In 1998, UNH completed a $19 million renovation of the 207,000
square foot Dimond Library, and other campus highlights include
a recently-completed journalism laboratory, a student union building
including two theaters, a food court, and a variety of services
and entertainment, a sports complex featuring a 6,000-seat sports
arena and concert hall, and a new recreation center.
Ideally located in the rural town of Durham, UNH is within 20
minutes of the Maine and New Hampshire seacoasts, and one hour
of Boston, Portland, and the White Mountains.
