Southern New Hampshire University

Ask any group of people what comes to mind when they think of Southern New Hampshire University, and you’ll hear one word again and again: innovation. At SNHU we set the bar high, both for our students and ourselves. The Wall Street Journal has praised our innovative three-year degree program, and our ever-expanding list of majors and impressive list of unique career preparation opportunities reflect our dedication to continuous improvement.

SNHU is large enough to offer a wide range of educational programs, and small enough that you’ll never feel like just a face in the crowd. When you walk through campus on your way to a class or club meeting, you’ll see friends, classmates, professors, career advisors, and more—and you’ll be able to greet them all by name.

With a student body of just over 3,000 students, SNHU strikes a perfect balance between community and intimacy. We believe that professors should be able to get to know their students individually. After all, college is about more than just preparing you for a future career: it’s about creating a culture that inspires every person, every day, to do more, learn more, try harder, and exceed expectations.

As a private, nonprofit university, we understand the financial challenges that many students face when applying for college. That’s why we make every effort to lower the bottom line with need-based grants of up to $18,000, with additional need-based scholarships for qualified students.

Once you arrive at SNHU, you’ll meet our impressive faculty, who are Fulbright Scholars, writers, chefs, artists, accountants, marketing pros, economists, entrepreneurs, and much more. In fact, the range of professional experience represented by our faculty is second only to the range of global experiences represented by our students. With over 70 countries represented in our student body, SNHU is never short of fresh new perspectives.

We could fill a book with these students’ success stories. Our programs are designed with the real world in mind, so students are prepared to launch successful careers when they graduate. Recent SNHU graduates have built successful careers with companies such as Fox News, the American Red Cross, ESPN, the Boston Celtics, and more. SNHU has built strong relationships with many of the most visible organizations in the region and is an official sponsor of the Boston Celtics, the New England Patriots, and Major League Soccer.

There is no shortage of things to do or places to be on SNHU’s gorgeous riverside campus. Campus features include a state-of-the-art academic center with plenty of private study areas and a case study room, as well as a dining hall featuring a wide variety of made-to-order culinary options, from exotic international dishes to your favorite comfort foods.

In the fall of 2014, we opened our new 50,000-sq. ft. Library and Learning Commons, which houses our collection of 100,000 books, a café, and an innovation lab, nestled amongst a variety of cozy study spaces. The SNHU campus is also home to a new 300-bed residence hall, simulated stock trading room, museum-quality art gallery, fully equipped fitness center, and our award-winning, student-run gourmet restaurant, The Quill.

“Student-run” is a term you’ll hear a lot at SNHU. Campus activities run the gamut from intercollegiate athletics and intramural sports to lip sync contests and comedy shows. With more than 70 clubs and organizations to get involved with, you never know where you’ll meet your next lifelong friend.
