UNH-4U is a 2-year inclusive postsecondary education program at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in which students pursue individualized programming that supports their career, academic, and independent living goals. Driven by a person-centered planning process, students audit UNH courses aligned with their individualized career goals. To supplement UNH academic courses, students also complete UNH-4U seminars related to academic success, wellness, and career exploration and planning. UNH-4 students participate in campus life, including living in dorms and participating in UNH student activities, clubs, and events. Students are provided with individualized supports by the UNH-4U staff and peer academic coaches and campus ambassadors. Upon completion of UNH-4U, students receive badges through UNH’s micro-credentialing program. These badges can be used to communicate skills, experiences, and knowledge gained to future employers.
