Innovative education that goes beyond training, the classroom and other universities — that's the UNE way. UNE professors are world-class researchers, authors and Fulbright scholars. You'll get to know them personally, working side-by-side in the lab, on a research vessel, in the field, and across the globe. In addition to flagship health sciences disciplines, a full range of liberal arts programs makes UNE a unique participatory, educational environment. No matter what degree you pursue, the interdisciplinary learning at UNE will connect you with experiences to position you for success.
