Relocation Resources
Thinking about working at UNH and relocating to the NH Seacoast?
The University of New Hampshire, an ideal place to advance your career, is recognized among public universities for high-quality academics. Just 20 minutes from the Maine and New Hampshire Seacoast, we are also just an hour's travel time to and from Boston and the White Mountains.
Founded in 1866 as a land-grant institution emphasizing agriculture and the mechanic arts, the University of New Hampshire has become the state's only public research university. More than 14,400 students from 45 states and 56 foreign countries follow 100 courses of study offered by a faculty of more than 900 men and women.
As a modern land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant university, UNH has a threefold mission: to teach, to conduct research and to provide public service to the State of New Hampshire and its citizens.
Public service is provided through faculty research and consultation, the Division of Continuing Education, through the Cooperative Extension offices located in each county, the Sea Grant and Space Grant programs and dozens of other programs and activities.
