The University of New England (UNE) is a private university with campuses in Biddeford and Portland, Maine, as well as Tangier, Morocco. Founded in 1831, it is recognized for its focus on health sciences, liberal arts, and professional programs. Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, UNE operates as a nonprofit private institution, relying on tuition, donations, and research grants.
UNE offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs, emphasizing hands-on learning and research. Its private status allows for flexibility in curriculum design and institutional priorities, though tuition costs are typically higher than public alternatives.
