Up here, all paths lead to opportunity
Plymouth State University is a friendly, close-knit community set against the stunning backdrop of the White Mountains.
We call Plymouth a “right-size school.” Here, you’ll get all of the academic offerings, services and activities of a large university, but with the one-on-one attention you’d expect from a small, private college.
Since being founded in 1871, Plymouth State has offered a rich, student-focused learning environment. Courses emphasize a project-based, interdisciplinary education that allows you to get experience outside of your major and learn to collaborate with your classmates to solve real-world problems.
There’s even more to see outside of the classroom. We encourage students to take full advantage of their surroundings, with opportunities for hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding and more sponsored by Plymouth.
We can picture you at Plymouth State. Can you?

I have learned many valuable skills while taking part in PSU’s business school and I can apply them within numerous industries. I feel as though my time at Plymouth has prepared me for success in any field I choose. The contribution you have made in sponsoring this scholarship is greatly appreciated, and I hope to make a similar contribution once I have established myself.
