UNH Manchester Summer Program Combines English Learning with STEM Skills

July 8 marked the start of the EXCELL-in-STEM program, which provides Manchester area middle and high school English learners with opportunities to build their skills in English and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Since its inception 16 years ago, the program has helped more than 250 students through hands-on activities in science, engineering and computing.

Sticker Shock

You can count on it every summer, like crabgrass and mosquitoes. The beginning of a new fiscal year brings another announcement from UNH that tuition is going up—6.9 percent last year, 6.9 percent the year before that, 7 percent the year before that. Not since 1974 has UNH had a year without a tuition increase for out-of-state students, and not since 1989 for in-state students. Just over the past five years, the cost of attending the university has increased by 38 percent for New Hampshire residents and 34 percent for out-of-state students.
