91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵ

The [neuroscience] major is smaller here, which is really cool because we can develop strong relationships with our professors.

One of the greatest things about 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵis the large variety of different experiential learning opportunities.

I came to 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵbecause of the Animal behavior major. It’s not very common. Most colleges have things like zoology or biology, but I wanted to zone in more on animal behavior.

I co-authored our abstract on anthropogenic noise impacting the humpback whale song. And when it got published, it got accepted to the Acoustical Society of America conference in Seattle. So I got to travel with my professor and accompany her on her presentation of the abstracts. That was awesome.

The classes that I’m taking at 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵare setting me up for a good future.

The classes [at the study abroad program in France] were incredible. I can’t put into words how amazing the experience was overall.

At other schools, it may be difficult to get into research and fieldwork experience during undergrad, but I was able to find myself in a lab my first semester.

Because I've gotten that education at UNE, I know a lot of stuff about the animals that people might overlook.

I’ve gotten to know all of my professors really well. I get a lot of one-on-one and face-to-face time with my professors and my peers. The personal attention makes a huge difference. I get access to a lot of amazing opportunities.

[The opportunity to work in the Burman Collaborative] provided invaluable scientific, professional, and life experience before graduating with an undergraduate degree.

My English professors challenged me to back up my arguments, sharpening my research and writing skills, and gave me the space to safely experiment with both formal and colloquial forms of communication.

As a future physician, I believe my special combination of science and English will benefit my patients and colleagues as I am able to translate complex topics into familiar concepts.

My background at 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵhas given me a strong foundation for career success.

I wouldn’t be on the track I am — on the career path I’m on — if I hadn’t gotten involved in undergraduate research.

The skills I learned at 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵhave been invaluable to me as I pursue my Ph.D. in School Psychology...My background in research and experiences in schools allowed me to hit the ground running.

I am so grateful for my time at 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵand how prepared I was upon graduation to enter into my chosen career path.

If I hadn’t had the internship experiences I had at UNE, I would not hold my current position...they were able to hire me because of my education versus the years of service. Education is everything.

The department’s biggest strength is without a doubt the faculty members. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable in their areas of expertise, their approachability in class and during office hours helped facilitate my learning.

I've taught students at the University of Texas, and I've taught students at the 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵ, and I will take the students at 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵten times out of ten.

91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵoffers a lot of hands-on experience — there is a focus on internships. Professors want you to do more than one because they want you to have the hands-on experience to figure out exactly what you’re interested in.

Everyone made me feel involved in the program on a personal level rather than strictly an academic one. Every faculty member cares so much...It fosters a great community.

I am able to already hone in on what I want to do later on down the line by studying neuroscience and the brain. Being more specialized now, focusing on the brain and neuroscience, will help me later on in my work.

Everything that I studied came together in a perfect funnel — that’s exactly what college should do. It’s a real, true liberal arts experience.

Being in a place that’s growing, improving, and on a mission to get better is inspiring.
