Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get a degree online in New Jersey?
You can get an online degree anywhere you have internet access, whether you're in California or New Jersey or anywhere in between.
We've offered online college programs for a long time - since 1995, in fact, and we've become leaders in the industry. Online programs have been designed to work for anyone, especially adults already busy with work and family. Nearly all of our online programs are asynchronous, meaning that while you'll have weekly deadlines, you won't have set class times and can study when it works for you.
Is SNHU accredited in New Jersey?
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.
