Is SNHU accredited in Connecticut?
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.
Can you do 100% online college?
Yes, you can complete your college degree entirely online. Many schools offer degree programs that can be done online from certificate programs to associate and bachelor’s degrees, and even many advanced degrees.
Earning an online degree at SNHU has a host of benefits, including:
- Affordability. SNHU offers some of the most affordable online tuition rates in the nation.
- Flexibility. With the option to learn online – along with multiple 8 to 10-week terms per year – you can earn your degree on a schedule that works for you.
- Network. With a powerful network of over 400,000 students, alumni and staff nationwide, you'll have opportunities to make meaningful, career-changing connections long after you graduate.
Are any online colleges worth it?
The flexibility you get with an online program allows you to earn your degree from anywhere, and this can be a big benefit for many students. But not all online colleges are created equal, and it’s important to do your research into a potential school’s accreditation, program offerings and student support services.
Whether an online college is worth it will depend on you. Your individual needs and goals should inform what college and program you choose. By carefully researching your options, you can pick an online college that provides a high-quality education and helps you advance in your career.
What is the fastest degree to get online?
How fast you complete your degree will depend on a variety of factors, like:
- What level of degree you are earning
- How many credits you may be able to transfer
- How many credits you are taking per term
- How many terms you are competing per year
This will obviously look different for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s not about how fast you complete your degree, but how you engage with the content and your learning community.
If you are trying to complete a degree in a certain amount of time or want to know more about a specific program, talk to a SNHU admission counselor.
Do employers take online degrees seriously?
While we can't speak for all employers, it’s worth noting that a degree from an accredited institution - whether earned online or in person - meets rigorous quality standards.
And remember, it’s all about how you market yourself. Beyond earning your degree, completing it online can actually showcase a range of skills that look good to potential employers. By attending an online college, you demonstrate a high level of responsibility for your learning, time management and self- motivation. These are all great skills to highlight alongside your degree!
