About Southern New Hampshire University
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) is a private, nonprofit institution founded in 1932 as the New Hampshire School of Accounting and Secretarial Science. Over nine decades of educational innovation, SNHU has evolved into one of the fastest-growing and most transformative universities in the United States. While rooted in a vibrant 300-acre traditional residential campus along the scenic Merrimack River in Manchester and Hooksett, New Hampshire—serving over 3,500 undergraduate students—SNHU is celebrated internationally for its massive, flexible online and competency-based education ecosystem empowering more than 170,000 adult and distance learners worldwide. Accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) alongside specialized accreditations from ACBSP (Business), CCNE (Nursing), and ABET (Computing & Engineering), SNHU is structured into four primary divisions: the School of Business, the College of Engineering, Technology & Aeronautics (CETA), the School of Arts, Sciences & Education, and the School of Nursing & Health Professions. Famous for its groundbreaking $15,000-per-year campus tuition model, zero application fees, competency-based learning initiatives, and NCAA Division II Penmen athletics, SNHU consistently ranks among U.S. News & World Report’s Most Innovative Universities in America.
