UNH Graduate Student Takes Road Less Traveled
Dianne McCarthy had an MBA and a successful career as finance manager at a major corporation when she started volunteering as a mentor to inner-city kids. Eight years later, she knew she had to make a career change, in spite of being a top earner at her company.
“My husband is a college counselor, so I knew what I was getting into in terms of a major shift in financial compensation,” said McCarthy. “But it was time to make a change. I researched graduate programs in counseling, quit my job, and here I am.”
The UNH Master of Education in Counseling Graduate Program held the most appeal to McCarthy because of the broad range of courses required for the program curriculum. The program offers a combination of research, theory, and field-based experience to its students, providing graduates a well-rounded view of the field.

Master's Degree Gives Student Edge in Job Market
Matthew Flanagan completed his undergraduate degree in criminal justice in the summer of 2009, looked at the waning job market and two weeks later enrolled in UNH's Master of Public Administration program in Manchester. He accepted an entry-level position as a security officer with the hope that by the time he finished his degree he would be able to begin a career in the public sector.
"I thought going to graduate school would be an investment in my future, but even before I've finished my degree I've had two promotions," said Flanagan. Since he began the program, Flanagan has worked for global defense contractor BAE Systems and more recently was offered a mid-level position with Raytheon BBN Technologies. Flanagan credits his UNH graduate degree program for opening the door to these job opportunities that have increasing levels of responsibility.
