Description

For thirty-two years the UNH Summer Program in Cambridge has provided more than 1,500 students with the opportunity to learn first-hand the truth of E.M. Forster's observation. Cambridge is, indeed, a magical place. We invite you to discover it for yourself.

Join us for the University of New Hampshire's Summer Program in Cambridge, England. Take two of the courses offered in English literature, writing, and history. All courses are taught by Cambridge University or University of New Hampshire professors.

Students live in private rooms at Gonville & Caius (pronounced keys) College on Trinity Street, in the heart of downtown Cambridge. Established in 1348, Caius, as it is commonly known, is the fourth-oldest of Cambridge University's thirty-one colleges.Morning and evening meals are held in a magnificent, medieval-style dining hall. On occasion, join the faculty for dinner at High Table. Weekly excursions take students to London, Dover, Canterbury, Stratford-on-Avon, and other destinations in the U.K. For nearly 30 years, the UNH Summer Program in Cambridge has provided more than 1,500 students with an uncommon and enriching experience.

The program is open to all second-, third-, and fourth-year undergraduates with a minimum GPA of 2.50; all graduate students with a minimum GPA of 2.50; a limited number of first-year students with exceptional records; and anyone who has completed their formal education with a minimum of one full year of college.

UNH Cambridge Summer Program's Mission Statement

We thrive on the edges of existing knowledge, eager to explore and expand those edges with each new inquiry. Most important, we seek to pass that knowledge and sense of discovery to our students, those who will be there as new worlds emerge.
