About the University

In the relatively brief period since its chartering by the Legislature and Governor of the State of New Hampshire, Hellenic American University has made considerable strides in establishing a secure foundation for our ambitious future. In less than a decade’s time, the University has received its Charter in the United States; established and strengthened academic programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels; attracted a first-rate faculty and visiting scholars of international renown; sought and received State approval for University programs through the New Hampshire Postsecondary Education Commission; secured candidacy for accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges; and awarded degrees to our inaugural classes of graduate students.

The University’s Objectives build upon the institution-defining vision and work of HAUniv.’s Founders and pioneering faculty and staff. These Objectives influence in a comprehensive fashion all elements of the Hellenic American University community.

The Objectives of the Hellenic American University are to:

  • Provide the best American university education for its students, thereby enhancing their ability to engage in careers that contribute to community and business development.
  • Enable students to contribute to global understanding and socioeconomic development by providing them with intercultural communication skills.
  • Cultivate a stimulating learning environment in which career practices are informed by the highest standards of scholarly theory and principles of ethical behavior.
  • Provide students with the attitudes, skills, and habits for lifelong learning and leadership roles in the global economy.
  • Serve as a center of intellectual and practical excellence in the region, where teaching, scholarship, and practice are integrated.
