Southern New Hampshire University

Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) was granted its charter by the state of New Hampshire in 1963, which bestowed on it degree-granting authority. The university’s first associate degrees were awarded that year, with the first bachelor's degrees being conferred three years later. A private, nonprofit, accredited institution with more than 3,000 on-campus students and over 170,000 online students, SNHU is one of the fastest growing universities in the U.S. Over the years, the university has transformed from a school of accounting and secretarial science into an institution offering more than 200 programs, from certificates to doctoral level degrees including business, education, liberal arts, social sciences, and STEM. SNHU also provides unparalleled support and service to help students transform their lives and the lives of those around them.
