Background

From its founding in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, the state’s flagship public university has proudly pursued its founders’ goal of “”fostering an educated citizenry”” in New Hampshire. Today, University of New Hampshire (UNH) is not only a land-grant institution but also a designated sea- and space-grant University, and ranks among the top-tier research institutions nationally.

The University comprises dozens of academic departments, interdisciplinary institutes, and research centers that attract students and faculty from around the world. As state-of-the-art facilities are built to support academic growth, and new residence and dining halls are built to meet the growing popularity of campus life, the University continues to rest lightly on old Ben Thompson’s farm, where some 13,000 students and hundreds of faculty and staff live and work amid the rolling hills and riverbeds of one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation.
