The University of New Hampshire at Manchester (UNHM) was established in 1985 as the sixth college of the University of New Hampshire to provide access to public higher education for people who live and work in the greater Merrimack Valley Region of New Hampshire.
UNH Manchester fulfills this mission by offering selected liberal arts and professional degree programs at the associate, baccalaureate, and graduate levels with special emphasis on programs which address urban issues. As a college of UNH, UNH Manchester has the same admission, general education, and graduation requirements as the main, residential campus in Durham. UNH Manchester also provides transfer programs for students who wish to begin their education at UNH Manchester and complete their degree requirements at the University of New Hampshire in Durham or at other academic institutions.
The UNH Manchester faculty is its greatest asset. Faculty members work closely with students as advisers and help students define their goals, plan career objectives, and develop an individualized program of study within each major.
The location of the college at 400 Commercial Street symbolizes the growth of UNH Manchester and the revitalization of the city’s downtown area. Area residents have access to university resources. The University Center is conveniently located and easily accessible by major highways and city bus service.
UNH Manchester is a college of the University of New Hampshire. The University of New Hampshire is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc.
