Welcome to Western New England University!
Western New England University is a New Traditional University. As a Golden Bear, you receive a well-rounded education that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving designed to transition students into innovators with the confidence, mental agility, and tools to learn, unlearn, and relearn to compete in an ever-evolving job market.
Attending university is about personal exploration and access. The flexibility and variety of academic offerings at WNE range from professional programs to the liberal arts and humanities and allow you to customize your educational path according to your interests and career aspirations, whether your interests lie in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, Pharmacy and Health Sciences, or our School of Law.
The data show WNE is a national model for success, with 98% of our Class of 2022 either employed or attending graduate or professional school within six months of graduation.
To help you achieve your goals, we challenge ourselves to think differently too. We know attaining a higher education degree provides both value and privilege. While a little more than one-third[1] of Americans have a bachelor’s degree, those with a bachelor’s degree earn on average 66% more than workers with a high school diploma[2].
For returning students — you’re well on your way to achieving your personal and professional goals. We wish you a successful and rewarding 2024-2025 academic year.

For new students, welcome to WNE! We are so glad you have joined our community.
WE are ready for the future!
