Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research

» http://www.unh.edu/undergrad-research/

In keeping with this research University’s mission to create and disseminate knowledge, UNH’s Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research offers undergraduates—working in collaboration with UNH faculty mentors—both funding and administrative support for individually designed academic projects ranging from laboratory research to humanist scholarship and fine and performing arts creations. Once projects are completed, student researchers may receive further support from the Hamel Center for presentations at national and international conferences and for online publication in UNH's undergraduate research journal, Inquiry.

Initially known as UROP (the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program), the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research currently offers year-round research opportunities both in the U.S. and abroad via competitive grant applications. Research Experience and Apprenticeship Program (REAP) grants offer honors students the opportunity to apprentice with a UNH faculty mentor for ten weeks of full-time research in the summer after their first year; Undergraduate Research Awards (URAs) are available each semester, including January term (research time commitment is flexible); Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURFs) for the U.S. offer support for ten weeks of full-time research in the summer following sophomore or junior year; and the SURF Abroad and International Research Opportunities Program (IROP) offers support for rising seniors to conduct nine weeks of full-time summer research abroad. Also, by registering for INCO 590: Student Research Experience, or INCO 790: Advanced Research Experience, students at any level can work directly with faculty members while receiving academic credit and support for research expenses.

Hamel Center research opportunities are available to students across all colleges and disciplines.

Grants from the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research open doors on real-world disciplinary practice, graduate school, post-baccalaureate fellowships, and professional careers; undergraduate research develops first-hand knowledge of the world and one’s place in it. For information about all awards, programs, and the Inquiry journal, contact the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research, 209 Hood House, (603) 862-4323, or visit the website at www.unh.edu/undergrad-research.

University Honors Program

» http://www.unh.edu/honors-program

The University Honors Program (UHP), established by the Academic Senate in 1983, recognizes the achievements and capabilities of outstanding students. The program enriches undergraduate education by offering a personal, intensive approach to learning through small classes of 25 or fewer students. UHP students take a minimum of four honors-designated courses in their freshman and sophomore years, one of which must be an honors 444 seminar. These courses count toward the Discovery Program requirements that all students must fulfill. Students also must complete their department's honors-in-major requirements in order to earn a "University Honors" designation upon graduation (see the "Honors in Major" description below).

Honors courses can be searched for in the online catalog by selecting the attribute "Honors Courses." Enrollment in these courses is generally restricted to members of the University Honors Program. Honors courses are open with special permission to non-honors students with a 3.4 or higher GPA on a space-available basis.

Honors in Major
Currently, there are more than 50 different departments from all five of the University's undergraduate schools and colleges offering honors-in-major programs. Academic work for honors in major requires a minimum of 16 credits, at least four of which will be devoted to a senior thesis project. Students should familiarize themselves with their departments' requirements and should meet with their departmental honors liaison (http://www.unh.edu/honors-program/liaisons.html). After successful completion of the program, students will earn an honors designation on their transcripts and diplomas.

Admissions and Aid
Students gain admittance into the UHP in one of two ways:

The Office of Admissions identifies a number of qualified incoming freshmen to be admitted to the honors program.
Freshman who demonstrate academic excellence are also invited to join the program.

To satisfy University Honors Program requirements, UHP students must meet designated grade-point average requirements. Students admitted to the program prior to the fall semester of 2008 must have a final cumulative grade-point average of 3.2, while students admitted in the fall semester of 2008 or thereafter must have a final cumulative grade-point average of 3.4. All students must meet the grade-point average requirements of their honors-in-major program.

Full-tuition and partial-tuition merit-based scholarships are available to a select number of incoming freshmen. Several partial-tuition scholarships are also awarded to upper-class students. For more information, contact Kate Gaudet, University Honors Program, 211 Hood House, (603) 862-3928, or visit the UHP website at www.unh.edu/honors-program.

The Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) is UNH’s largest research organization and its first University institute. It brings together, under common themes, many well-established research programs focused in EOS’s three centers: the Earth Systems Research Center, the Ocean Process Analysis Laboratory, and the Space Science Center. EOS is also home to the newly formed School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering (SMSOE).

EOS and SMSOE scientists are exploring processes on the Sun, solar influences on Earth and its magnetosphere, the chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere, changing climate, and large-scale terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Much of this research emphasizes complex impacts on and by human activities.

Research takes EOS investigators from the most distant energetic phenomena in the universe and Earth’s environment in space to tropical, temperate, and boreal forests; from the coast of New Hampshire and the Gulf of Maine to the world's great oceans; from the grasslands and agricultural fields of China to those of the American Midwest; from the great ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica to the summit of Mount McKinley. EOS scientists and students use satellites, aircraft, ships, and increasingly complex computing systems to explore and investigate the most important processes in the universe and on our planet.

EOS and SMSOE's advanced research contributes substantively to the training and development of graduate students. This research is funded by major national and international organizations including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. EOS faculty also teach and mentor undergraduate students, and there are numerous opportunities for undergraduates to participate in the research activities of the Institute. Undergraduates interested in EOS activities should contact either EOS faculty in their academic departments, or e-mail the EOS director’s office, eos.director@unh.edu.

International Affairs (dual major) (IA)

» Click to view course offerings

Lecturer: Mary Wallace

The Center for International Education (CIE) offers undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue a dual major in international affairs (IA). The dual major requires completion of the interdisciplinary international affairs program and any other major. The purpose of the program is to expand students’ global horizons, enhance their disciplinary major, and expand their career opportunities into the international arena. The courses in the dual major program are multidisciplinary, taught by faculty from many different departments in the University. They are designed to help students appreciate the complex interrelationships and interdependencies among nations and peoples and to equip students with the analytical skills and broad perspectives necessary for both public and private sector international careers.

Students who wish to declare international affairs dual major must earn a C or better in IA 401, have declared (or be prepared to declare) a disciplinary major, and have a 2.5 cumulative grade-point average. After declaration, students are expected to maintain at least a 2.5 grade-point average, which is also the minimum required for study abroad at UNH.

IA Dual Major Requirements
Students who matriculated into UNH prior to fall semester 2010 should refer to the undergraduate catalog of their year of matriculation to see the IA dual-major requirements that apply to them. For those who matriculated into UNH fall 2010 or later, please see below:

Courses used to satisfy international affairs elective requirements must be from outside the student's disciplinary major(s). Students pursuing two disciplinary majors in addition to international affairs may count one of the courses in either disciplinary major as an international affairs elective. For any major with 14 or more required courses (or 56 or more required credit hours), the IA program permits counting a maximum of three courses or 12 credits from the major program as international affairs electives.

Competency in a Foreign Language
Functional reading, writing, and speaking ability equivalent to a third-year, second-semester college level (632).

Foreign Experience
Minimum of eight weeks. The international affairs foreign experience is ordinarily conducted in a country consistent with the student’s language study but may also be conducted in a select list of countries where English is an official language or where UNH does not offer language training. Students who desire to study in such a country must petition the Center for International Education. Plans of study must include rigorous local language training while in-country.

The foreign experience (usually completed during the junior year) and the foreign language requirement are completed before taking IA 701 in the senior year. To acquire the knowledge, skills, and experience that come from residence in a foreign culture, students may spend an academic year, semester, or summer in an academic institution, in an internship with a private or public organization, or in purposeful travel/research. All foreign experiences must be pre-approved by the IA major adviser or the University Committee on International Studies.

The completion of the dual major requires no additional credits for graduation beyond the 128 required of all UNH students. All coursework required for international affairs must be completed with a grade of C or better. For information, contact the Center for International Education, Hood House, (603) 862-2398, www.unh.edu/cie.

*The Department of Civil Engineering has worked with the UNH Center for International Education to develop a dual-major program in civil engineering and international affairs. Civil engineering students participating in this program spend at least one semester studying abroad in a foreign experience. Students can complete the international affairs dual major in five years or less and do not need to have pre-existing skills in a foreign language before coming to UNH. For more information, contact Ray Cook at (603) 862-1411 or by e-mail to ray.cook@unh.edu.

IA Minor Requirements
The international affairs minor adds a recognized distinction and global context to any academic major. It was developed for those students who, due to the demands of their primary majors, are unable to complete the more rigorous requirements of the IA dual major. Students take IA 401, the core course that provides a broad overview of international affairs from a geographic, scientific, and political perspective. Micro or macroeconomics is required. Undergraduates work toward intermediate proficiency in a foreign language, participate in a foreign experience of at least three weeks (or 4 credits), and take two globally relevant electives.

Required Core Courses (2 total)
IA 401, International Perspectives: Science, Geography, and Politics
ECON 401A, Principles of Economics (Macro), or ECON 402A, Principles of Economics (Micro), or EREC 411

Electives (2 total)
Choose one elective course from each category below:
Foreign Area (to be taken prior to foreign experience)
Science, Technology, and the Private Sector, or Policy and Theory in International Affairs (See list above for IA dual major requirements.)

Courses used to satisfy international affairs elective requirements must be from outside the student's disciplinary major(s).

Foreign Language
Functional reading, writing, and speaking ability equivalent to a second-year, second-semester college level (504).

Foreign Experience
Minimum of three weeks (4 credits). The international affairs foreign experience is ordinarily conducted in a country consistent with the student’s language study but may also be conducted in a select list of countries where English is an official language or where UNH does not offer language training. Students who desire to study in such a country must petition the Center for International Education. Plans of study must include rigorous local language training while in-country.

All coursework required for international affairs must be completed with a grade of C or better.

A maximum of two courses can be taken away from UNH. Students are expected to maintain at least a 2.5 grade-point average, which is also the minimum required for study abroad at UNH.

Undergraduate programs in marine science and ocean engineering at the University of New Hampshire reflect the diversity of the ocean itself and are enriched by easy access to a variety of natural laboratories, including tidal rivers, estuaries, coastal areas, and the open ocean. Studies in marine science and ocean engineering are offered through various colleges and departments of the University and are supported by the School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering and a number of marine research programs and institutes.

Curricula in Marine Science and Ocean Engineering
Students interested in marine science and ocean engineering generally identify specific degree programs in those areas or degree programs in core disciplines ranging from, for example, zoology to earth sciences to mechanical engineering, with marine specializations or minors related to that area of study. There are currently two undergraduate majors and four minors in the marine science and ocean engineering. The College of Life Sciences and Agriculture offers a B.S. in marine, estuarine, and freshwater biology through the Department of Biological Sciences, while the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences offers a B.S. in Ocean Engineering through the Department of Mechanical Engineering and an oceanography concentration as part of its B.S. in Earth sciences through the Department of Earth Sciences. In addition to these offerings, students can declare a major in any established discipline and augment it with a minor in marine biology, ocean engineering, oceanography, or wetland ecology. Students are encouraged to declare their intention to follow these programs as soon as possible.

School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering
The School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering (SMSOE) provides a campus-wide umbrella for marine activities and maintains specialized facilities to support efforts of faculty in individual departments and organized research units. The SMSOE is administratively housed within UNH’s Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space (EOS).

The SMSOE directly supports academic graduate programs focused broadly on ocean engineering, oceanography, and marine biology, and supports experiential learning and research opportunities for undergraduates beyond the formal classroom. The on-campus Chase Ocean Engineering Laboratory houses both educational and research activities including large acoustic and wave research tanks. Estuarine research is pursued at the Jackson Estuarine Laboratory on Great Bay, which is designated as a National Estuarine Research Reserve. The Gregg Marine Science Complex, including the Coastal Marine Laboratory, a flow-through seawater laboratory, and a research pier is located in nearby Newcastle, N.H. Research on salmonids and other freshwater animals is conducted at the Anadromous Fish and Aquatic Invertebrate Research Laboratory, located near the Durham reservoir. Off-shore and coastal studies are carried out aboard the University’s 50-foot research vessel, Gulf Challenger, and a number of smaller boats.

Each of the SMSOE facilities features modern, specialized equipment and opportunities for undergraduate students to work and carry out independent research. There are many opportunities for undergraduates to participate in marine research under the supervision of SMSOE faculty.

The University has a Sea Grant College Program that supports research, teaching, and service projects through numerous partnerships with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Marine research projects are also supported through the National Science Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of Naval Research, and other state and federal agencies, foundations, and private donors.

Extensive research, interdisciplinary academic programs, and the extraordinary variety of marine environments and facilities allow students to observe and learn about the frontiers of science and technology being explored in the ocean. For further information about marine opportunities, contact the School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering at marine.information@unh.edu or through the website at marine.unh.edu.

Shoals Marine Laboratory

The Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) is a summer field station located on Appledore Island, Maine, the largest island in the Isles of Shoals archipelago in the southwestern Gulf of Maine. SML is operated by UNH and Cornell University with a focused emphasis on the undergraduate student experience.

Just six miles offshore from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, students and faculty from UNH, Cornell, and the world live together in a small, closely knit academic community away from mainland distractions. Facilities include vessels (research vessels 47 ft. John M. Kingsbury and 36 ft. John B. Heiser), waterfront and diving facilities, dry and wet laboratories, classrooms, dining, and residence halls. SML offers introductory and advanced courses in marine biology for undergraduates (generally 2-4 credits each); opportunities for student research; college courses for high school students; and public education programs. Appledore Island also provides a superb setting for investigations in sustainable engineering through courses and the summer Sustainable Engineering Internships. The fee includes all costs: full tuition, room, board, field trips, and transportation to and from the island.

SML is proud of its ability to make several forms of financial aid available to applicants on the basis of both merit and need. In addition, many short-term work positions are available to students enrolled in SML courses. SML courses can help a student decide whether marine science is the right major or career while fulfilling university major and minor requirements and providing a hands-on, field-based academic experience.

Race and Ethnic Studies Minor Description
The race and ethnic studies (RES) minor examines how racial and ethnic categories are created and maintained—politically, socially, and culturally. RES uses critical, interdisciplinary, and comparative approaches to study race relations as they intersect with factors including gender and sexuality, class, religion, and immigration status. The minor prepares students for life and work in a world increasingly characterized by difference derived from racial and ethnic identities.

Learning Outcomes:

Facilitate understanding of how the social constructions of race affect the social fabric of our historical and contemporary world;
Enhance students' abilities to appreciate differences and to actively and critically engage in civic responsibilities, especially with respect to social justice;
Prepare students to negotiate an increasingly interconnected world and apply their education in a wide range of occupations;
Gain exposure to the theories and methods of ethnic studies;
Compare representations of borderlands, hybridity, migration, and diaspora from different cultures to comprehend how national boundaries, as well as local, national, and transnational cultures and politics, affect the constitution of racial and ethnic categories.

Classes for the RES minor are housed in a variety of departments in the College of Liberal Arts, offering students a truly interdisciplinary experience.

Requirements
The race and ethnic studies minor consists of five courses or 20 credits. To complete a minor, students are required to:

Enroll in an introductory-level course. (These are listed on the minor website each semester.)
Enroll in at least one course at the 600/700-level.
No more than 8 credits used to satisfy the requirements for a major may be used for a minor.
Earn a C- or better in each course and maintain a 2.0 grade-point average in courses taken for the minor.

Additional Information

Courses taken pass/fail may not be used toward a minor.
A relevant internship may be substituted for one of the electives.

Classes are approved by the coordinator and announced each semester on the program's website, www.cola.unh.edu/res.

After completing the 20-credit sequence, the student submits the Certification of Completion of Minor form, available online or from the RES coordinator. Once this certification is approved by the RES coordinator and major adviser, the form goes to the college dean and the registrar to be recorded on the transcript. The certification form must be completed by the beginning of the student's final semester at the University.

For further information, please contact Jessica Fish, Huddleston Hall room 322, (603) 862-0939, jessica.fish@unh.edu. Or visit www.cola.unh.edu/res for course listings and program details.

Student-Designed Majors

Under special circumstances, students may design their own majors. This option is offered for highly motivated and self-disciplined students who seek a course of study that is not available through existing programs at the University. It allows students, with the close supervision of faculty members, to cross department and college lines and to create educational experiences on and off campus as part of individual programs of study.

Student-designed majors are administered by a committee of elected faculty that operates through the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students who want to design their own majors are required to give the committee evidence of careful thought and planning in a proposal.

Fall submissions are due by October 15 of the student’s junior year. Proposals are only reviewed once a semester. Spring submissions are due by February 25. The committee will convene soon after the deadline to review the proposals. Under no circumstances will the committee consider a senior year proposal.

Proposal guidelines are available in the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and on the Academic Affairs website, www.unh.edu/academic-affairs/student-designed-major-sdm. Click on "Academic Enrichment."

War and Peace Studies

War is the scourge of humankind. Tribes, cities, and nations have gone to war against each other for as long as we have records; only here and there, among some small “precivilized” groups, has war been absent or strictly controlled. For as long as we have records, too, we find thoughtful people crying out against war and pleading for peace, arguing for principles to govern war’s conduct and laboring to mitigate war’s effects, imagining a world where war is abolished, and taking steps to bring that world about. As the scale of war has grown to a size now great enough to devastate the entire globe in a single conflict, more and more people have devoted themselves to preventing war and finding acceptable substitutes. In the nuclear era, age-old moral and religious discussion has joined with historical study and practical, even technical, research to produce a set of related disciplines sometimes called “war and peace studies.”

To meet the requirements for the war and peace studies minor, students must complete two core courses (8 credits) and 12 credits of elective courses with a grade of C- or better. Ordinarily, no two electives (or no more than 4 credits) may be taken from the same academic department. No elective may count for both a student’s major and the war and peace minor. A relevant internship may be substituted for one of the electives. As they are announced, other relevant courses may be added to the list of acceptable electives. Students may request others not so listed. Courses carrying fewer than 4 credits will be counted as partial satisfaction of an elective requirement. If a good case can be made for it, a departure from any of these rules may be approved by the adviser for the minor and the coordinator.

All students will be assigned an adviser from the membership of the Committee on War and Peace Studies, ordinarily one not in the student’s major department. The adviser will assist students in constructing a coherent program that suits their particular interests.

The core courses are INCO 401, War, and INCO 402, Peace. Occasionally, a new core course may be included.

Departmental elective courses will include courses such as these:
AERO 681, National Security Forces in Contemporary American Society (3 cr.)
CMN 456, Propaganda and Persuasion
HIST 617, Vietnam War
HIST 537, Espionage and History
NR 435, Contemporary Conservation Issues and Environmental Awareness
POLT 562, Strategy and National Security Policy
POLT 778, International Organization
SOC 780, Social Conflict

Special offerings that may serve as electives:
ANTH 797, Advanced Topics in Anthropology (e.g., War and Complex Society)
ECON 698, Topics in Economics (e.g., Economics of War and Peace)
ENGL 595, Literary Topics; ENGL 693, 694, Special Topics in Literature; ENGL 797, 798, Special Studies in Literature (e.g., Literature of World War I, Literature of the Vietnam War)
HIST 600, Advanced Explorations (e.g., Comparative Revolutions)
HUMA 730, Special Studies (e.g., Nonviolence, Thinking about War and Peace)
INCO 404P, Honors: Introductory Seminar (e.g., Understanding War)
POLT 660, Special Topics in International Politics (e.g., Arms Control and Disarmament)

For more information, contact Michael Ferber, Department of English, (603) 862-3973.

Preprofessional Programs

Prelaw

Many graduates of UNH attend law school. The faculty and staff advisers of the Prelaw Advising Committee work closely with students and alumni to identify interests and explore opportunities within legal education. The committee helps students undertake the best possible preparation for legal education while also bringing the excitement of law to UNH students. The committee achieves this goal through careful consideration of the American Bar Association’s (ABA) statement on preparation for legal education (found on the web at http://www.abanet.org/legaled/prelaw/prep.html).

In that statement, the ABA explains why no single major or course is required or recommended for students wishing to explore or prepare for legal study. The ABA does, however, describe certain skills and values that are essential to success in law school and to life as a lawyer. These include analytic and problem solving skills, critical reading abilities, writing skills, oral communication and listening abilities, general research skills, task organization and management skills, and the values of serving others and promoting justice.

Prelaw Advising implements the ABA statement by working with student interests and strengths to select UNH courses, internships, and experiences that will develop those skills and values. Programmatically, the committee provides a prelaw resource library, visits to local law schools, and sponsors discussions with law school students, admission and financial aid representatives, and with members of the legal community. The committee also provides support for LSAT preparation, law school search, writing personal statements, and the application and selection processes.

Interested students should register with the committee by contacting the Prelaw Advising Office, 106 Hood House, at (603) 862-2064. Additional information is available at www.unh.edu/prelaw-advising/.

Premedical/Prehealth Care Professional Study

The Preprofessional Health Programs Advising Office in Hood House provides advising for all students preparing for postgraduate careers in medicine, dentistry, optometry, chiropractic, podiatry, physical therapy, pharmacy, and physician assistant programs. There is no premedical or predental major at UNH. A student’s major is not considered in the application process and students from majors in all five UNH colleges have been admitted to postgraduate health professional programs. Though premedical/predental is not a major, interested students are expected to register with the Preprofessional Health Programs Advising Office in Hood House as soon as possible so as to be kept informed of important events, opportunities, and deadlines regarding preparation for application.

A premedical/predental program at UNH consists of the following:
1. Taking the prerequisite courses for admission to a health professional program. Medical and dental schools generally require biology, physics, general chemistry, and organic chemistry—all two semesters each with laboratory. A semester of biochemistry is also required. A year of English is required, as is one year of math including one semester each of calculus and statistics. Prerequisite courses can be taken as part of a student’s major curriculum, as part of the Discovery Program requirements, or as electives.

2. Gaining volunteer/health care experience. Applicants to health professional programs will be expected to demonstrate a sustained involvement in volunteer and community service. A significant portion of this experience must take place in a health professional setting and include direct patient contact. Most students gain this experience by volunteering at a hospital, though volunteer opportunities are available in a wide range of settings, including nursing homes and community clinics.

3. Preparing for the requisite entrance exam. Students applying to medical school are required to take the MCAT exam. Students applying to dental programs are required to take the DAT, and applicants to optometry programs take the OAT. The MCAT, DAT, and OAT are standardized, comprehensive exams that test students’ knowledge of biological and physical sciences as well as verbal reasoning and writing skills. Exams are usually taken by students no earlier than the spring of their junior year and should be taken only if the student has completed or is within a month of completing prerequisite coursework. Students applying for physician assistant and physical therapy programs may be required to take the GRE, a more general exam similar to the SAT in structure and content.

Application Process
The Preprofessional Health Programs Advising Office works with the Premedical/Predental Advisory Committee—a body of 10-12 UNH faculty members with interest and/or experience in medical/dental education—to provide students with comprehensive, confidential evaluation services at the time of application. An orientation meeting is held each fall to outline the application process and establish timetables/deadlines. Students should note that the medical and dental school application process begins a full two years before matriculation; e.g., in the fall of a student’s junior year if they wish acceptance following graduation. However, a delay of a year or more between graduation and admission is neither unusual nor detrimental, and in many cases, students can use this time to improve their credentials by taking additional courses and/or gaining exposure to the profession.

It is important that students understand that in order to gain admission to a health professional program they must not only satisfy the prerequisite requirements, they must satisfy these requirements at a high level of achievement. The Preprofessional Health Programs Advising Office can provide students with information on competitive grade-point average and entrance exam scores for each of the postgraduate health professional programs.

The Preprofessional Health Programs Advising Office is located in Hood House and can be contacted by phone at (603) 862-2064 or by e-mail at Premed.Advising@unh.edu. The office also has a website at www.unh.edu/premed-advising.

Off-Campus Programs

Consortium (NHCUC) Student Exchange Program

Under the Student Exchange Program of the New Hampshire College and University Council (NHCUC), UNH students may be eligible to enroll for one course per semester, one semester of courses, or a full year of coursework at a member school on a space-available basis. The NHCUC exchange allows matriculated undergraduates to use educational resources that are not available at the home campus and are considered appropriate for their degree programs. This exchange will be used only when academic reasons or other special circumstances warrant it. Approval of the UNH academic adviser and college dean is required, and students must meet all UNH Study Away eligibility standards. Schools in the NHCUC consortium include Colby-Sawyer College, Franklin Pierce University, New England College, Southern New Hampshire University, Rivier College, Saint Anselm College, UNH Durham, UNH Manchester, Keene State College, and Plymouth State University. Students will remain as degree candidates and continue to pay normal UNH tuition and fees, but must make their own room and board arrangements if they plan to spend a full semester at another consortium school. For more information and application forms, students should contact the National Student Exchange Office, Hood House, (603) 862-2064.

Exchange Programs Within the U.S.

The University offers many opportunities for exchange study with other institutions within the U.S. The National Student Exchange program provides an educational experience in a different environment, within North America. It is hoped that students will develop new ways of viewing the country and expand their knowledge of our complex society.

Through the National Student Exchange (NSE), UNH students can study at one of more than 170 colleges and universities throughout the United States, U.S. territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands), and Canada. Several historically black colleges and universities are exchange members, and several are members of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. In addition, a one-semester or full-year exchange program is available with the University of California, Santa Cruz.

To qualify for exchange study, students must be full-time undergraduate degree candidates in good standing, with at least a 2.5 grade-point average, have earned at least 32 credits (16 of which must be from UNH at the baccalaureate level), have declared a major, receive permission from their college dean and academic adviser, and receive permission from the UNH NSE coordinator.

Students in exchange programs are expected to return to UNH to complete their studies. Participation in an exchange program does not disrupt the continuity of a student’s educational process. Exchange program participants continue to maintain their status as UNH students, even while temporarily located at another university. Students do not have to withdraw from UNH and later be readmitted. Maintaining UNH student status also facilitates reentry into classes, on-campus housing, and many other dimensions of University life.

Interested students should contact the National Student Exchange office in Hood House, (603) 862-2064, or visit www.unh.edu/nse.

New England Land-Grant Exchange Program

In order to provide students at the New England land-grant universities with expanded access to unique programs and faculty expertise, the institutions have agreed to encourage student exchanges of one, but not more than two, semesters. To qualify, students must identify a course or combination of courses related to their area of academic interest and not available on their home campus, be degree candidates in good standing with at least a 2.5 grade-point average, be at least first-semester sophomores, and receive permission from the appropriate university exchange authorities at both the home and host institutions. Interested students should contact the National Student Exchange Office, Hood House, (603) 862-2064.

UNH/UNHM Cross Registration

Matriculated students at the University of New Hampshire and the University of New Hampshire at Manchester may take UNH courses at either campus.

Agriculture and Development in the Neotropics (SAFS 510)
This course is designed as a three-week immersion into tropical agriculture and Costa Rican ecology and culture. Agriculture plays a pivotal role in Costa Rica's history and in shaping current events. Production of horticultural and agronomic crops occurs on a variety of scales ranging from large export-based systems, to mid-sized operations for domestic sales, and sustenance-based home gardens. Examples of all systems will be visited and discussions will focus on their overall sustainability. Sustainability is a broad concept and requires consideration of socio-cultural, environmental, and economic factors. Agriculture and agricultural products infuse the culture as seen by large participation in farmers markets and appreciation for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables prepared in myriad ways. An appreciation for nature also infuses the culture and is embodied by the country's extensive system of national parks and protected reserves along with the national philosophy of "Pura Vida." At the same time, there exists a delicate balance between agricultural development and preservation of biodiversity.

Reserve Officer Training Corps Programs (ROTC)

Students attending the University of New Hampshire may enroll in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) or in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (AROTC) at the University.

The Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC offer programs leading to a commission as a second lieutenant in their respective services. Students in either ROTC program may pursue any University curriculum that leads to a baccalaureate or higher degree.

Two- and four-year programs are available. The four-year program is open to freshmen, sophomores, and transfer students. The two-year program is open to students who have at least two academic years remaining in their college/university degree program. In addition to on-campus course requirements, students must attend an officer-preparatory training session for a part of one summer.

ROTC scholarships are offered on a competitive basis by both the Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC. Entering freshmen may compete for four-year scholarships during their last year of high school. Additionally, incoming students may compete for scholarships while already in college if they meet specific ROTC requirements. Scholarships may pay up to full tuition, mandatory fees, and required textbooks for college courses. Incoming students with either a four-year or three-year ROTC scholarship may receive a full or partial room and board grant for the entire time they are on an ROTC scholarship. In addition, all scholarship recipients receive a tax-free monthly subsistence allowance. Non-scholarship students in the last two years of the ROTC program also receive the tax-free monthly subsistence allowance.

Both ROTC programs have administrative and medical requirements, which must be met to qualify for a scholarship and a commission.

More specific information about ROTC programs may be obtained by contacting Army ROTC at (603) 862-1078 or Air Force ROTC at (603) 862-1480.
