Health Education

A life in the health professions lets you make a positive impact while forging a fulfilling career path — and the University of New England offers the most dynamic health professions educational experience in Northern New England. More than ever, frontline healthcare workers are critically important, and in demand across the country. UNE will prepare you to be a leader in today’s healthcare workforce, making a difference for your patients and your community.

Being Maine’s #1 provider of health professionals means UNE has strong direct ties to the region’s hospitals, clinics, and practice settings, as well as to the business community and policy makers in Augusta. This network helps our graduates find employment, internships, and a welcoming community of colleagues and peers who provide a lifetime of support. 
 

Dive into our graduate health professions degrees, and explore undergraduate pathways including Nursing, “pre-med” health sciences majors, and several combined undergraduate/graduate degree path offerings. For students who are already focused on a health-related career as they come out of high school, UNE offers several options that allow you to pursue your undergraduate and graduate degrees in a single accelerated program. These include Pharmacy, Medical Biology, Social Work, Athletic Training, Occupational Therapy, and our GradVantage program. Beyond the classroom, UNE’s health degrees offer robust internship and clinical opportunities.
