Southern New Hampshire University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Southern New Hampshire University, also known as SNHU, is a private university in Manchester, New Hampshire. Their athletics name is "The 1 Penmen".

The university was founded in 1932 by Harry A.B. Shapiro and Gertrude Crockett Shapiro (his wife) as the New Hampshire School of Accounting and Secretarial Science. In 1961, it was incorporated and renamed New Hampshire College of Accounting and Commerce. The state of New Hampshire granted the college its charter in 1963, which gave it degree-granting authority. The first associate's degrees were awarded that year, and the first bachelor's degrees were conferred in 1966. The college became a nonprofit institution under a board of trustees in September 1968, and its name was shortened to New Hampshire College in 1969.

New Hampshire College became Southern New Hampshire University on July 1, 2001. A new academic facility, Robert Frost Hall, containing the McIninch Art Gallery and a new state of the art Center for Financial Studies, was completed in 2002. The University transferred three graduate education programs and two undergraduate education programs from nearby Notre Dame College when that institution closed.

The Southern New Hampshire University is one of only a few American educational institutions that is accredited by the European Council for Business Education (ECBE) in addition to ACBSP.

Academics

SNHU offers over 40 undergraduate majors including dual majors and over 30 minors, and nearly 20 graduate programs many with concentrations. It also maintains a leading distance-education program through SNHU online. SNHU is divided into the following schools:

  • The School of Liberal Arts
  • The School of Business

Awards

The School of Community Economic Development has been honored by the New England Board of Higher Education. The school received a 2007 New England Higher Education Excellence Award, the Robert J. McKenna award, named for the former Rhode Island state senator and NEBHE chair. It is presented each year to an outstanding academic program.

I'm going to another online school however I'm considering highly to switch to SNHU. Why? Well right now I'm going to a private(yet big) school online. They have reputable classes, etc, just not the major I'm looking for (English). So far I've applied and talked to an admissions counselor, and they've been very helpful and seem to care moreso than my other school. I didn't have to pay an application fee and if I withdrawal from my other school its going to cost me $50, how ironic. But anyways, SNHU is accredited, has numerous awards and is actually a campus with a good reputation in academia. That really impressed me and the fact that they have graduates in online degrees since '99. I do hope though if this isn't enough that someone does answer your question . God bless!

You've probably already visited their website, but just in case......it looks like they have a feature where you can ask questions of current students. Personally, I think you can't get a better state to go to college in than New Hampshire, but I am a weeeeee bit prejudiced. :)
