Emphasizing individual choice, flexibility, and hands-on learning, the Honors College works with each student to design their personal journey at UNH.
"The Hamel Honors and Scholars College prepares students for future accomplishments, and it also supports them in making an impact here and now — in their academic fields and in their communities, from UNH to the whole world."
