A classroom education combined with hands-on experience

The University of New England is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best regional universities in the Northeast.

From its College of Osteopathic Medicine and College of Health Professions to its newly established College of Pharmacy, UNE is recognized as a leading educator of healthcare professionals. 

In addition, UNE offers a comprehensive liberal arts education, with more than 30 undergraduate majors in its College of Arts & Sciences, such as environmental science, marine science, English, history, business, communication and education. 

UNE’s student-centered, interdisciplinary programs promote experiential learning, critical thinking, and lifelong service to community. Students enjoy a beautiful and supportive environment on the University’s waterfront campus in Biddeford and its historic Portland campus.

Academic programs ensure that students have plenty of opportunities for extensive fieldwork, clinical experiences, research and internships through University partnerships with area health care facilities, businesses, non-profits and UNE affiliates, such as the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in West Boothbay Harbor.
