Yes! If you live in Nevada and have a stable internet connection, you have access to a huge variety of online degree programs. These programs can provide the flexibility needed to complete your degree, especially if you're a parent, working professional or are unable to attend traditional classes on campus.
Is SNHU accredited in Nevada?
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 or particular programs.
Can you do 100% online college?
Yes, many programs can be completed 100% online! Completing your education online can give you the accessibility and convenience you need to balance your studies with other responsibilities.
What is the best online college degree to get?
The best online degree to get is the one that you want to pursue. That might be the degree that makes you excited about learning or the one that can help you level up in your career. Researching programs can help you choose the one that lines up with your interests and goals. Some popular online degrees include business administration, nursing and computer science.
What is the fastest degree to get online?
Online degrees can often be completed faster than on-campus ones, and the fastest online programs to complete are typically associate degrees or certificates. SNHU’s online associate degree could be completed in less than two years, while a bachelor’s degree may take longer. The overall time a degree program takes to complete will vary, and that’s OK!
Is online college taken seriously?
These days, a number of recognized universities provide online degree programs, which has helped increase their acceptance in the workplace. Whether you attend online or in person, a college degree is proof that you've taken the time and energy to advance your knowledge.
Plus, many employers now recognize the value of online education itself, and they understand that it takes a high level of discipline and self-motivation to complete a degree program remotely. As long as your online degree is from an accredited institution, employers are very likely to take it seriously.
How quickly could I finish online college?
How quickly you finish your degree online can depend on a range of factors, like:
- The degree you’re earning: An associate degree or a certificate often takes less time than a bachelor's degree. Some online degree programs also offer accelerated options that allow you to finish one or even two degrees even faster.
- How many credits you're able to transfer: SNHU has a generous credit transfer allowance, and you can transfer as many as 45 credits toward your associate degree or up to 90 credits toward your bachelor's degree.
- How many terms you complete each year: The more terms you complete each year, the quicker you may be able to complete your degree. SNHU offers 6 undergraduate terms and 5 graduate terms each year.
Generally, many programs can be finished in 2 to 4 years, but your personal schedule will play a big role in how quickly you can complete your online degree.
