UNH Manchester students prepare for careers and civic leadership through a combination of liberal education and a major program of study. UNH Manchester creates a learning environment where students are free to explore their interests and build analytical, reasoning and critical thinking skills essential for future success.

A liberal education exposes students to a diversity of ideas and ways of knowing. They develop intellectual, social and cultural awareness and explore important issues of today and throughout history from multiple perspectives and exposure to the arts, biological and physical sciences, technology, history, literature, foreign cultures, social sciences and philosophy.
