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.

Since school, I have believed in hard work that little bit of extra effort which has helped me realize my goals at every stage. I have always sought to try and stand a head in every facet of my life. I am grateful to God, parents, relatives and friends for they have been influential in molding my personality Education if chosen which I do is an unending process....
Fullfilling your destiny.
