About
History
UNB began with a petition presented to Governor Thomas Carleton on Dec. 13, 1785. Headed by William Paine, the seven memorialists asked Carleton to grant a charter of incorporation for an "academy or school of liberal arts and sciences," which they maintained would result in many "public advantages and conveniences."

Student Reviews
Foundation
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The program had little courses in my area of interest. I chose the program with the idea of continuing my studies with a law degree. The University has great researchers and teachers in the area of law, social control, and law and economic, but there were too few courses given on those subjects. I wish there would have been more availability.

Through my time at UNB I had the chance to be involved...
