FAQs About Southern New Hampshire University Online

Is Southern New Hampshire University Legitimate?

Yes, SNHU is legitimate, and employers respect its online degrees. Schools and degrees are considered legitimate and earn respect if a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting board institutionally accredits them. Accreditation is important because it signifies a school has undergone a stringent review process, demonstrating fiduciary responsibility and a commitment to the higher education of its students. 

The New England Commission of Higher Education institutionally accredits SNHU. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CNURED) accredits SNHU's nursing degree programs.

What Is Southern New Hampshire University Known For?

SNHU is known for being innovative and progressive regarding the education of working adults. It's considered one of the fastest-growing universities in the U.S. due to its sizeable online student enrollment. It was also one of the first colleges to adapt its curriculum and course delivery to focus on working students in 1932. 

In 2013, SNHU began implementing a competency-based education program that lets students demonstrate their skills gained through life and work experience, potentially reducing the number of courses needed to graduate.

Which Degrees at SNHU Provide the Highest Earnings for Graduates?

Nursing degrees at SNHU provide the highest earnings for graduates with a $77,504 annual median salary, according to federal data from College Scorecard. SNHU offers online nursing degrees at the bachelor's and master's level. Other high-earning degrees include Economics, Computer and Information Sciences, and Business and Marketing — all of which result in annual median salaries of $55,000 or higher. With a wide range of online degree options, students can find relevant remote degrees in these fields, from associate to bachelor's and master's degrees.

What GPA Do You Need To Get Into SNHU?

To make higher education more accessible, SNHU offers undergraduate programs accommodating all GPAs. However, SNHU's graduate programs require a minimum 2.75 GPA or a 2.00 GPA unless you have completed a post-bachelor's degree, which would supersede this requirement

How Difficult Is It To Get Into SNHU?

It's not difficult toget into SNHU because the school accepts 94% of its applicants. Additionally, SNHU does not require or recommend submitting entrance exam scores.

What Are the Admission Requirements for SNHU?

The admission requirements for SNHU are relatively simple. Applying is free and only requires completing an online application, submitting a transcript release form for transcripts from any schools attended and any military service completed, and submitting an electronic attestation form stating that you've graduated from high school or received your GED.
