| "UNH recognizes that a globally authentic education requires diversity commensurate with the diversity of the globe on which we live." |
The University of
New Hampshire is an open environment that welcomes and supports
a diverse community of students and scholars. We're proud to
be a part of the UNH community, and hope the information below
is helpful. Questions? We'd love to hear from you. |

A GLOBALLY AUTHENTIC EDUCATION This commitment to a globally-authentic education pervades the University of New Hampshire. In the classroom, UNH students consider how race, culture, gender and sexuality (among other social identities) shape our lives, our politics and our possibilities. Courses and seminars like "The Psychology of Hate", "Race, Gender and Representation" and "Multicultural Theory" foster a spirit of critical inquiry. |

CREATING COMMUNITY CHANGE Visiting speakers and lecturers like Kevin Powell, Leslie Feinberg, Jamison Green, Yolanda King, and Frances Moore Lappé electrify the campus, putting UNH students directly touch with some of our world's most influential authors and activists. You can road-test your own vision for community change and social justice through involvement in one of UNH's many student organizations like Urban Xpressions, the Peace & Justice League, Radical Cheerleaders, Mosaico or the Black Student Union. We also enjoy a tradition of student volunteerism. Each Spring Break, ten vanloads of UNH students set out for destinations around the nation for a week of service to community. Haven't found a student society or service opportunity that matches your interests? Start your own! AT HOME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WITH A GLOBAL REACH Each semester, newcomers from places far and near join our community. [embedded link: http://www.unh.edu/admissions/international/where.html ] Our approximately 11,000 undergraduate students and 2,000 graduate students hail from nearly every city and town in New Hampshire, all 50 U.S. states and 28 countries around the world. In turn, UNH students venture abroad on their own voyages of discovery through innovative programs like the International Research Opportunities Program or EcoQuest. While our roots go deep into the history of New Hampshire, UNH today reflects the pace of life in the dynamic and innovative state we call home. We're one of the fastest growing states in the nation and home to expanding communities of color - particularly in the southern tier cities of Manchester, Nashua and Salem. New Hampshire is also home to robust LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) communities, strengthened by our state's traditional respect for the rights of the individual (our license plates don't read "Live Free or Die" for nothing!). New Hampshire law and University policy forbid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In 2005, votes taken in UNH's Faculty and Student Senates supported the inclusion of gender identity and expression in the University's non-discrimination policies. APPLYING TO THE UNIVERSITY Undergraduate admission to UNH is managed by our colleagues
at the Office
of Admissions . You can find general
information about applying to UNH, as well as specific
resources for prospective
students of color and
LGBT students on their website. Prospective non-US resident ('international') students should also contact UNH's Office of International Students and Scholars. Graduate admission to UNH is managed by the Graduate School. Dovev Levine-Leung works with prospective graduate students of color and LGBT students. VISITING US Planning a visit to the University? Be sure to stop by the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA). We're centrally located on Level 3 of the Memorial Union Building - if you register with Admissions for a walking tour of campus, you'll pass right by our front door! Feel free to stop in. We welcome 'walk-in' visiting prospective students, though if you contact us omsa.info@unh.edu in advance and let us know what questions you have, we can arrange for you to meet with current students, as well as connect you with other diversity resources on campus.
