Plymouth State University (PSU) is a member of the University System of New Hampshire, located in the town of Plymouth in central New Hampshire (United States), at the gateway to the White Mountains and the Lakes Region and about two hours from Boston. Founded in 1871, it has a 170-acre campus and is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). The student-to-faculty ratio is 17:1, and students come from more than 25 countries.

Teaching follows PSU's Cluster Learning Model, in which students and faculty from different disciplines work together on real-world problems. Undergraduate majors range from business, computer science and cybersecurity to meteorology, nursing, adventure education, environmental science and art and design. PSU also offers five three-year, 96-credit Applied Bachelor's degrees, as well as master's degrees, the Doctor of Education (EdD) and the Doctor of Physical Therapy.

International applicants use the Common Application and need proof of English proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo); admission is test-blind, so SAT or ACT scores are not used. All students are considered for a merit scholarship based on their GPA, and most students live on campus, in residence halls such as Langdon Woods and Merrill Place.
