The Academic Plan

The academic plan is organized around five key themes—discovery, engagement and outreach, institutional effectiveness, resourcefulness, and community. Each reflects a particular aspect of the academic experience at UNH.
Discovery

Discovery describes the core educational experience we provide for students, in which new knowledge, ways of thinking, problem solving skills, and skills of citizenship are acquired and practiced.

Engagement

Engagement and outreach focus on how faculty and students interact with the people and issues of New Hampshire, New England, the nation, the world. By assuring our full engagement with the changing world, we enrich scholarly work, while applying our intellectual resources to today's complex world.

Resourcefulness
The theme of resourcefulness is concerned with maximizing diverse revenue sources—thereby minimizing growth in tuition rates—and using our human, fiscal, and material resources as efficiently as possible.
Effectiveness
Our commitment to institutional effectiveness requires that we assess the quality of our teaching and research on a continual basis, and assure that our limited resources foster excellence in selected disciplines.
Finally, our commitment to community demands effective governance, the creation of a civil, respectful climate, and the pursuit of more diverse students, faculty, and staff to better reflect rapid demographic changes in New Hampshire and beyond.
