Up here, vision, collaboration, and innovation are celebrated.

Employment

Plymouth State is committed to giving our students, faculty, and staff an innovative, authentic environment that promotes excellence. It is this commitment that led to Plymouth State twice being named to the Chronicle of Higher Education’s “Great Colleges to Work For” list for our teaching environment and tenure clarity and process.

Just walk down the hill and you will find Plymouth, NH, a small town whose mountains, woods, lakes, indoor and outdoor recreation, and performance venues earned it National Geographic Adventure magazine’s designation of one of the 50 next great adventure towns in the US. Bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques line Main Street. Here, you’re just two hours from Boston and 90 minutes from the coast, surrounded by epic mountains and lakes that offer outstanding recreation opportunities.

Plymouth State is committed to being a creative community that inspires students, faculty, staff, and alumni to actively transform themselves and the world.
