"Human diversity is manifested at many levels in multiple ways. At the University of New Hampshire, where providing a broad-based education of the highest quality for students in an ethical and welcoming setting is one of our core responsibilities, we embrace diversity and its multiplicity of meanings."

-President Ann Weaver Hart

Why UNH?

“Higher education is the entrée to many professions and opportunities in our society, and I believe that UNH should be a proactive and proud partner in breaking down the barriers that face so many in our culture. We therefore must and will pay particular attention to the representation and experiences of students, faculty, and staff who are members of groups who have suffered historically and who continue to face unusual barriers and exclusion." - Ann Weaver Hart, President

Why UNH Graduate School

Currently, there are 2400 graduate students at UNH, 250 of whom are citizens of countries outside the U.S. Over half of these international students are enrolled in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Other schools with significant numbers of international students include the College for Life Sciences and Agriculture and the Whittemore School of Business and Economics. While the majority of these students are from Asia, we also have an increasing number of students from eastern European nations, Russia, Canada, and Latin America. Approximately 25 percent of our master’s students and over 70 percent of our doctoral students receive some form of financial assistance during their enrollment at UNH.

We're a closely-knit community that values people. We have a dedicated teaching and research faculty that cares about students, a commitment to responsive and high quality student services, and an increasingly diverse student body. These are all reasons why UNH prides itself on being a large school with a small-school feel.

We also boast a geographical setting that combines natural beauty with accessibility to city life, a campus that mixes cutting-edge resources with a comfortable and friendly climate, and a solid track record for graduating students with something to offer, wherever their journey takes them.

So the better question may be . . . Where else but UNH!
