Is SNHU accredited in Colorado?
Southern New Hampshire University is accredited by the regional accreditor the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), which is one of the regional accrediting bodies recognized within the United States by the U.S. Department of Education. This means, as an SNHU student — no matter what state you live in — you’ll be earning a degree from a respected university that is recognized nationwide for meeting accreditation standards.
It’s important to note that institutions are not accredited by state. However, regional accreditation, from accreditors such as NECHE, is widely recognized across the United States.
SNHU also carries specialized accreditations for particular programs.
What is the fastest degree to get online?
The speed at which you complete your program really depends on your needs and individual situation. One of the benefits of an online degree is the ability to take courses in shorter terms than with a traditional degree program.
You'll work with admission counselors, who can help you transfer in past coursework that could count toward your degree. And, we have accelerated programs for people interested in earning both an undergraduate and graduate degree.
Do employers take online degrees seriously?
Absolutely. SNHU set the bar high for online education. Our reputation is well earned and grounded in our commitment to student success. Accreditation – like the ones SNHU carries – shows that commitment.
Is online college harder?
Some students actually find online learning easier than traditional learning because of the convenience. Others find that online learning requires more discipline to stay on track than in a regular classroom setting. Your perspective is what really matters. The degree requirements and course outcomes for online learning are every bit as rigorous as those in our campus programs.
How long does online school take each day?
The amount of time you’ll need to spend on courses each day varies greatly. Your study habits, your choice of degree program and where you are in the term all play a part. Some programs may require more reading-heavy coursework than others. You may have discussion board posts and papers to write as well as mini-lessons from your professors to review.
We also have a lot of study and time-management tips and support ready to help you on your way.
Is online college cheaper?
It can be! Our financial aid and admission counselors are trained to help you find the best options for financial aid and transfer credits. Our tuition rates are competitively low among other four-year universities. We never charge an application fee.
And depending on the degree program and your goals, you may have the option to transfer in up to 90 credits from previous college coursework or life and work experience. This can help you complete your degree program even faster, saving you both time and money. You can also use our online tuition calculator to get an estimate of what an SNHU online degree could cost.
Is online college the same education as on campus?
Not only is SNHU fully accredited with a strong commitment to and reputation for quality education and student success, we offer many opportunities to forge connections between you and the university as well.
Our Office of Student Involvement has created SNHUconnect. This is a private online community designed exclusively for our online students. There you can join online clubs, get career guidance, and find local and regional events.
