COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS, FAMILIES & UNIVERSITY OF RECORD PARTNERS
Our team at UNH is working closely with our partner, the College for Social Innovation, who delivers the Semester in the City program in Boston, during the unfolding health crisis. Our goal is to ensure the safety of our students, and to allow them to successfully achieve the academic credit for the program despite the necessary changes to the program under the current circumstances. To streamline information and avoid confusion, all updates affecting UNH students, and students participating in SITC through our University of Record partners, will be shared by the College for Social Innovation directly with students, families and partners, and updates will be posted regularly on their website.
Students, families, or University of Record partners are encouraged to first contact the College for Social Innovation team with additional questions or concerns, but can reach out to the UNH team at anytime.

The University of New Hampshire and the College for Social Innovation (a Boston non-profit) have partnered to bring undergraduates the opportunity to spend a semester in Boston in a rigorous 30+ hour per week internship with a leading social change organization (nonprofit, business, or public sector) – in community development, social justice, health, education, environment, and other areas dedicated to the public good. This 16-credit Semester in the City program includes an intensive evening course that examines the theory and practice of various social change approaches, and a series of Friday seminars and reflective workshops – thereby equipping a new generation of leaders who understand both direct and systemic approaches to social and environmental change.

Have a friend who isn't Enrolled at UNH? Semester in the City is now accessible to ALL STUDENTS working towards a four year degree! In January 2018, the UNH formally became the University of Record for Semester in the City. Meaning students at colleges/universities that have not yet directly partnered with the program can now partake in Semester in the City, earning 16 credits through UNH, to transfer back to their home college/university.
