University of New England

"I've been a hiring manager for a large national rehab provider since 1999.  I have interviewed and hired countless therapists trained in universities from all over the U.S. and many from other countries as far away as the Phillipines.  Every UNE new graduate I've employed has had a wonderful balance of clinical and personal skills.  I can honestly say that in my opinion UNE produces some of the most capable, talented young therapists I've encountered."
