Major: Biology (This Major's Salary over time)
While I did find the curriculum adequate for an undergraduate program (especially since it is a state school), there is so much more UNH could do! UNH should really have more to offer biology students, especially seeing as how WSBE has a "wine tasting" [read: complete waste of funding] course. The most serious problem, however, is that so much of the faculty relies on research and their teaching comes in a very very distant second to that. Some teachers obviously hate the teaching aspect of being at a university, and others are completely unqualified to teach the given subject. Anatomy I (that does not include any repro) is taught by an oblivious professor who works in the equine department and knows very little past reproductive physio (dr. b). So many of the biochem professors are absorbed in research that they make little time for students that aren't associated with their labs.

Yes- overall, I am glad I went to UNH because I left without debt and did get a good foundation to continue on but unless you are looking to continue your education, UNH isn't going to prepare you for a job after college; nor will they help you find it after you graduate! The career advising center won't meet with alumni and the "alumni association" has no input, there is no networking here—you get the picture.
