Southern New Hampshire University Online Reviews of Bachelor's in Liberal Arts

"As a career military member, obtaining a degree has primarily been just to check a box. Given that purpose, I consider SNHU to be a great choice, as it's significantly more respectable than other for-profit schools that military personnel frequently attend. While I would only describe a few of the courses I took as particularly challenging, I do feel like the education I received was valuable and pursuing a General Studies degree allowed me the flexibility to choose the classes and subjects that I was actually interested in. The degree has not presented any issues with applying to graduate schools, and I'm now using it to obtain my MA in Organizational Leadership. Overall, I have no issues with recommending SNHU and I feel like it's a great choice, particularly for working adults."

"This is the best online school out there! I absolutely loved my experience at SNHU! From my amazing advisor (Kathy R.) to the instructors, to the Financial Aid office. They are helpful, knowledgeably and caring. I received a great education, with challenging module assignments, classmates that helped me learn and instructors that were ALWAYS available. If I had a question, the instructors would be available through email, text and/or a phone call. They were willing to help me understand the material, spend time walking me through something I was confused about and all along the way encouraging me! Most instructors were either PhD's or MA's and specialists in their field. I am now deciding what to do with my career and I am looking strongly into a MA from SNHU. Thank you SNHU for the BEST education!!"

"I am busy. I have a family and a successful career already. I have been able to advance through experience in the military and a lot of hard work even without a degree but that can only last so long. I have been to traditional colleges both private and state but never crossed the finish line. Fast -forward 10 years and I am regretting that I never completed my degree. I am been so thankful that SNHU has held my hand through the whole process. Most of my credits transferred in and my advisor, and others, really helped me figure out the fastest and most relevant way to finish things out. Was it a life-changing education? Probably not, but I had responsive instructors, and most of the assignments and books were online so it was easy. Invest the time, follow the rubrics, and get your assignments done and you'll learn something and complete a degree. My instructors were always gracious if I communicated that I had things going on at work or with family one week and needed a little more time. Overall my experience has been great. It has been an easy and positive experience that worked with my life situation."

"If you're thinking about going here, DO NOT DO IT. I'm in my last two classes to complete my Bachelor's degree. This school is a complete joke. I don't even know where to begin. I wish that someone had told me this before I decided to complete me degree here. The only reason I'm finishing is because I'm not about to have a huge student loan and just quit before finishing. Not only is this school a joke to any employer after seeing it on your resume, but I have literally not learned one thing. I have said that I've had my degree on my resume (before I actually do) and employers literally don't care. "Oh the school with all of the commercials." Yeah, it's embarrassing. The class literally depends on what teacher you get. Mind you, the teachers don't need ANY experience to be hired. They just need a degree and they're hired. Basically you have the teachers who don't even know what's going on in the class or you have the power trip ones who make up rules and ask you to do more than required even though they're "not allowed to do that." The tutoring system...hahahahahah ahhh yeah that's the only bigger joke than this school. If you want any help at all, good luck. Every class is basically the same and the "curriculum" isn't even about the actual subject. You will research how to research the subject. Not even kidding you, it's almost every class. The teachers don't even grade the papers, they put them through a system. Sometimes you do get a good teacher, usually once maybe twice a year if you're lucky. If you want to actually learn and feel like your student loan debt was worth it, DO. NOT. GO HERE."

"This is an excellent school!!! They welcome all and they understand that there are people who may not have had the opportunity to pursue a degree due to various different reasons. I was disappointed to read from a prior review that this school admit "bad students whose education level may not be up to that person's personal standards", talk about that student being judgmental and elitist. My own personal experience is wonderful!!!, My advisor and my professors are very concerned about my well being and also my grades. I will most likely continue on with this school after I have completed my BA."

"Good school. I did B.A general studies IT. If you put in the effort you will get a degree. You have to be self motivated. Overall I have grown personally. I am happy I could complete and achieve a goal at SNHU online. I am considering a Masters program with SNHU."

"SNHU was great for my undergrad degree. The courses are extremely easy. I'm not sure how the quality is in comparison to other universities. I did attend Oregon State for a while and found SNHU to be worlds easier which makes me feel uneasy about the quality of SNHU. Also, none of the tests are proctored. I did get a great job after graduation within my own company. It was more luck than education, though. I'm having a hard time finding a job with a new company outside my organization. SNHU is not reputable. I started to pursue a Masters degree through SNHU in data analytics. However, they could not provide me with any stats (go figure) on the program. They told me Google stats of grads with an analytics degree. I wasn't looking for objective stats. I was looking for very subjective stats at SNHU. They could not and would not provide me with any. I quickly withdrew my active student status and will pursue a 2nd bachelors in computer science at a more reputable school. SNHU is a great school if you simply need a piece of paper saying you graduated. If you're looking for a career, look elsewhere. It's a joke school with easy classes."

"The college was fine. I really dislike school but education is extremely important. If I had to do it all over again I would go to Southern New Hampshire university again."
