Graduate School
Bruce L. Mallory, Dean
Harry J. Richards, Associate Dean
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.

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.
