University of New Hampshire, Public research university in Durham, United States
The University of New Hampshire is a public research institution in Durham, New Hampshire. The campus spreads over a large area with several college buildings, laboratories, and agricultural fields connected by pathways and green spaces.
The New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was founded in 1866 and moved to Durham in 1893. The institution gained its current name over the decades and evolved from an agricultural college into a broad research university.
The original name of the institution reflects the Morrill Act's emphasis on agriculture and mechanical education across the country. Visitors today still find active experimental farms and field research on campus that recall this early orientation.
Most areas are walkable or accessible by bicycle during daytime hours, and the campus welcomes visitors interested in learning about academic programs. Visitor appointments can be arranged in advance to tour specific facilities or meet with faculty.
The institution operates its own research vessel off the coast, used for marine and oceanographic studies. This ship allows hands-on work at sea for students and researchers from several departments.
