Learn more than just a major

The School of Arts and Humanities provides opportunities for hands-on learning with real-world applications, close work with faculty who are recognized experts, and a flexible curriculum because we know you want more than just a major. Hone your critical thinking and creative abilities, develop your oral and written communication skills, and discover your place in the world.

At a school where there are huge classes, you aren’t going to get the time with your professors, so you aren’t going to get the same education that you can get at UNE.”

Beautiful Location

As a student in our School of Arts and Humanities undergraduate programs, you study on UNE's scenic Biddeford Campus, where the waters of the Saco River flow into the Atlantic Ocean. Recently named the youngest city in Maine, Biddeford and its twin city, Saco, boast an up-and-coming, hip downtown offering delicious eateries, exciting social and cultural events, and more. With the transformation of the old mills into restaurants, breweries, housing, and retailers, there is something for everyone to explore.
