School mission: The University of New Hampshire is a public university that combines the look and feel of a classic, New England Liberal Arts College with the breadth and opportunity of a major research university. The university offers 2000 courses in over 100 majors taught by internationally recognized faculty dedicated to undergraduate teaching. Special programs include a particularly strong undergraduate research program, honors program, and a wide range of opportunities for internships, study abroad, and national exchange experiences. It is also home to a thriving art scene including theatre, dance, music and the visual arts. UNH has abundant extracurricular opportunities for students, including 181 student organizations ranging from the Outing and Energy Clubs to Political Action groups. There are dozens of club and intramural sports and fitness centers as well as 18 Division 1 intercollegiate teams. There are many residential options from theme halls, small halls housing 45 students, to large buildings of 600. UNH has an ideal location, nestled as it is in a small town, minutes away from the New Hampshire seacoast and an hour's drive from Boston, Portland, and the White Mountains.
