The state's five public universities are administered by the University System of New Hampshire, which is the largest provider of postsecondary education in the state.[1] New Hampshire is also served by a network of seven public, technical community colleges. The oldest school in the state is Dartmouth College, a member of the Ivy League and the only New Hampshire institution founded before the American Revolution. Enrollment sizes range from small liberal arts colleges with fewer than 100 students to the flagship state school, the University of New Hampshire in Durham, which has over 14,000 on-campus students.
The New Hampshire College & University Council is a consortium of 21 of the state's public and private institutions of higher education.[2]
The active institutions included on this list are all accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC),[3] with the exception of Antioch University New England, which is accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges and the Higher Learning Commission.[4]
