Innovation for a Healthier Planet

The University of New England is a private, top-ranked university offering flagship programs in the health and life sciences, as well as degrees in business, education, the social sciences, and the liberal arts. UNE's three beautiful campuses are home to an active and close-knit student community engaged in rigorous academic experiences.

Innovation drives the University each day. In state-of-the-art facilities in Maine, Morocco and beyond, hands-on learning, interdisciplinary engagement, and global awareness empower the next generation of leaders for New England and the world.

Education that Goes Beyond

An education at UNE goes beyond training and beyond the classroom. Professors include world-class researchers, authors and scholars who help students reach further, working side-by-side with them in the lab, in the field or across the globe.

UNE offers more than 40 undergraduate and 32 graduate/professional academic programs in needed, fascinating fields. UNE is home to Maine's only medical school and the only college of dental medicine in Northern New England. UNE is one of a handful of private universities with a comprehensive health education mission including medicine, pharmacy, dental medicine, nursing, and an array of allied health professions. In addition to 27 health sciences disciplines, the full range of liberal arts classes and majors makes UNE a unique participatory, educational environment.

Academic programs ensure that students have plenty of opportunities for extensive fieldwork, clinical experiences, research, internships, and global experiences at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Waterfront Learning on the Coast

Biddeford Campus

UNE's waterfront campus in Biddeford, Maine, offers more than 4,000 feet of scenic shoreline where the Saco River flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The local area has a long history as a coastal vacation destination. UNE's campus includes undergraduate student housing, graduate and undergraduate classrooms and labs, a library, cafés, gathering spaces, various athletic facilities and fields, including an NHL-size hockey arena and a basketball arena, and much more.

Portland Campus

A rustic brick port sets the stage for a thriving buy-local economy and hip cultural scene -- with outdoor adventure all around. UNE's Portland Campus, a classic, century-old New England quad just a short drive from the waterfront, anchors UNE's tight-knit, engaged community within this exciting city.

Tangier Campus

UNE set a new study abroad standard with its Tangier, Morocco campus, which features state-of-the-art labs and modern accommodations, as well as easy access to beaches, downtown and cultural attractions. Students can enjoy a semester abroad at our Morocco campus or with partner universities in Spain and France for about the same cost as a semester in Maine.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

On any given weekend at UNE, thrilling adventures await. Students can ride countless miles of mountain bike trails and scenic rural roads, kayak and sail on Casco Bay, camp and hike at hundreds of great parks, or just take in some rays at UNE's own Freddy Beach. With more than 70 clubs and organizations on UNE's campuses, students discover many opportunities to get involved. Whether an academic club, an arts club, student government, a cultural organization, or an outdoor recreation group, like-minded people are ready to welcome new students aboard.

Taking the Field by Storm

UNE athletes -- called Nor'easters after one of the nastiest storms in Mother Nature's arsenal -- strive for success on and off the field. With 11 conference championships in the last five years, 87 percent of the university's teams average a GPA of 3.0 or higher. UNE's intercollegiate teams compete at the Division III level in men's basketball, cross-country, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, and soccer. Football will see its first action beginning in 2018. Varsity women's sports include basketball, cross-country, field hockey, ice hockey, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, softball, swimming, and volleyball.

A Sound Investment

According to "U.S. News & World Report," UNE is one of the 'Best Regional Universities in the North.' UNE was included in the 2016 edition of "The Princeton Review's" Best 380 Colleges guide. In addition to recognition for academic quality, UNE is receiving attention as an outstanding educational investment. The prestigious Brookings Institution recently ranked UNE the Maine college or university most likely to increase students' career earnings, and Forbes magazine listed UNE as one of the top American institutions for return on investment.
