Overview
The Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics was established in 2011 following a transformative $25 million gift from alumnus Peter T. Paul, consolidating UNH's Whittemore School of Business and Economics into a modern, unified college. Housed in a state-of-the-art 130,000-square-foot facility completed in 2013, the college was designed specifically to foster collaboration between business and economics disciplines and to integrate technology into the learning experience. It has since built a reputation for strong programs in accounting, finance, analytics, and entrepreneurship, with AACSB accreditation underscoring its academic quality.
