Portrait of U N E student Emily Hedegard

UNE strongly encourages you to take advantage of internship opportunities. I’ve had several throughout my time here, each offering unique experiences. The faculty at UNE truly act as mentors throughout our internship experiences.

Communications and Media Arts, English, Writing
Claire Alden

I love travel, and history is a big part of that. Both History and Global Studies are strong programs here, and I like the broadness of studying the humanities. I study History and Political Science of course, but I also study international relations, anthropology, cultural studies, and more. It is all interconnected.

History, Political Science, Global Studies

I’ve gotten to know all of my professors really well. I get a lot of one-on-one and face-to-face time with my professors and my peers. The personal attention makes a huge difference. I get access to a lot of amazing opportunities.

UNE Communications student Jack Allsopp

When I discovered the University of New England, I felt the size of the school would be perfect for me...I was also attracted to UNE’s Global Education program. Spending a semester in Morocco was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

My English professors challenged me to back up my arguments, sharpening my research and writing skills, and gave me the space to safely experiment with both formal and colloquial forms of communication.

As a future physician, I believe my special combination of science and English will benefit my patients and colleagues as I am able to translate complex topics into familiar concepts.

The English department at UNE may be small, but that is what I love about it. More than a decade later, I still have relationships with my professors who have become lifelong mentors that I continually turn to for advice and they are always willing to support me.

I really liked the faculty of the English and History Departments at UNE. I became really close with my professors and felt comfortable going to them not just for educational advice.

The courses I took for my Art minor were not only informative and interesting, but also fun! As a lover of art, I was endlessly excited by the material my professors presented.

All of my professors were great at what they teach and have a passion for what they do. Their passion for art spills over into the classroom and makes the classes that much more enjoyable, even for those who aren’t art majors.

What I like about the Art at UNE is how well you get to know everyone in your major. Also, I like how the art rooms become a second home as you either work with your classmates or by yourself on your own time.

At UNE, unlike most schools, we start observing public school classrooms in our first year. It’s a great opportunity to make sure this is what you want to do after graduation, and you also learn great tricks from teachers who have done the job before.

I knew right away that a Communications major... was the best route for me to consider so that I could enhance my pre-existing skills in the video editing/production field.
