Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the University of New Hampshire at Manchester— New Hampshire’s urban university. Our learning community reflects the region’s diverse ideas and cultures in a rich urban environment. Students of all ages and backgrounds find opportunities to study, to grow, and to prepare for their futures in a laboratory of real world experiences in the humanities, the sciences and the social sciences.
UNH Manchester students and faculty come together in the classroom and in the community to create dynamic conversations and learning groups. Whether in class, on internships, in community service projects, or having coffee in our café, the faculty and students constantly challenge one another to learn more about thinking, understanding, and putting creative ideas into action.
At UNH Manchester, we capitalize on our location in the revitalized millyard of New Hampshire’s largest city. Our campus on the banks of the Merrimack River is a few blocks from the heart of the state’s financial and corporate center and home to many of the region’s non-profit and government offices. As Manchester has regained its crown as the Queen City of the Merrimack Valley, so, too, has UNH Manchester grown as a vibrant educational center where entrepreneurial ideas and practical application connect preparing our students for the opportunities of tomorrow in the region’s business, education, government, non-profit, service and technology sectors.
Come to the University of New Hampshire at Manchester and experience the excitement for yourself. Earn your UNH degree in Manchester.
—Kristin Woolever, Ph.D., Dean of UNH Manchester
