About our College
Where education takes place at the frontier of what is known and what is yet to be discovered. Our programs invite students to go beyond the boundaries of the classroom through fieldwork and original research. Undergraduates take to the open ocean to study marine science; they learn the techniques of biotechnology in laboratories outfitted with advanced technology; they absorb the principles of conservation while standing hip deep in a wetland or walking along a mountain trail; they test agricultural theory in the experimental plots and barns of our working farms.
To guide them is a talented group of faculty members who combine teaching with a passion for research and public service. Their work to understand the nature of biological systems, manage and conserve natural resources, improve agricultural profitability and sustainability, enhance health and nutrition, and foster economic development has earned UNH nationwide recognition as a top-tier land, sea, and space grant university. This synthesis of talent and expertise creates opportunities for students to follow their intellectual interests across traditional fields of study through interdisciplinary courses and programs. And by participating in faculty-supported outreach initiatives that benefit the state and the region, students find greater meaning in their studies and a way to test future goals.
We invite you to explore this web site, and learn what it means to study the life sciences at the University of New Hampshire, and how our faculty make a difference in the lives of the people of New Hampshire and beyond.
