Here, student will do work that contributes to the common good within our state and way beyond. UNH’s majors don’t just prepare student for the world—they’re designed to empower and to change it.

From the uncharted ocean depths to edge of our solar system to the earth we call home, UNH research transforms lives and delivers solutions to global problems. Powered by more than $100 million in competitive external support, we’re in the top 20 percent of universities nationwide for research and funding.
