Degrees and Programs

The Graduate School offers a wide range of programs leading to the
master’s degree, one program leading to the C.A.G.S., and a number of programs leading to the Ph.D. degree. Graduate programs have been developed systematically to achieve academic excellence by careful utilization of institutional resources and regional opportunities. A highly qualified graduate faculty supervises programs and establishes the requirements for admission and degrees, which are administered by the dean of the Graduate School. The Graduate School extends its programs to central and southern New Hampshire through the Center for Graduate and Professional Studies. Located on the campus at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester, the center offers a number of part-time professional master’s programs.

Admissions

Persons holding a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or University and wishing to take graduate-level courses at the University as part of a graduate degree program must apply for admission to the Graduate School. Admission to the Graduate School is both limited and competitive and is based solely upon academic qualifications and potential.

Applications for admission and the Graduate Catalog, containing detailed descriptions of graduate programs, may be obtained from the Graduate School, Thompson Hall, 105 Main Street, Durham, NH 03824-3547. The Web site address is www.gradschool.unh.edu.


Early Admission-University of New Hampshire Seniors

Qualified senior students at the University of New Hampshire may be admitted to the Graduate School provided they have followed normal application procedures; they must have been admitted for the semester in which they wish to enroll in courses for graduate credit. A 3.20 cumulative grade-point average is required to be considered for early admission. Such seniors are normally admitted prior to the start of their last undergraduate semester. Seniors who have been admitted under early admission may register for a maximum of two courses for up to eight graduate credits.


Dual Credit-UNH Seniors

University of New Hampshire seniors who have been admitted to the Graduate School under early admission may, upon recommendation of the department and approval of the Graduate School, be allowed a maximum of two graduate-level courses for up to 8 credits toward both a bachelor’s and master’s degree. Dual credit forms must be completed and approved by the dean of the Graduate School at the beginning of the semester for which dual credit is sought. Dual credit forms are available at the Graduate School.

Admission to the 3/2 Program

Undergraduate UNH students may be admitted to one of the approved five-year combined bachelor’s degree/master of business administration programs, which normally commence during the fall semester of their senior year. Application to the Graduate School is made during the second semester of the junior year. Interested students should contact the Whittemore School for information.

Financial Assistance

Graduate assistantships are available in most departments. These involve part-time work in connection with the University’s instructional or research activities. University awards, such as tuition scholarships, are also available to qualified students. Assistantships and scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic qualifications.
Financial assistance in the form of college work study and loans may be available through the Financial Aid Office.
