Southern New Hampshire University Online Reviews of Bachelor's in Marketing

This review is based on my online schooling experience with SNHU. This school is a wonderful option for people who want to earn a degree on their own time and need to be cost effective. If you think you can attend this school and just skim by, that might work for you for the intro level classes but when you are closer to your degree completion you MUST put in detailed effort and a lot of time. Anyone who discredits an online learning experience after 2020 does not have a progressive mind set. I have... Read More interviewed for corporate marketing positions and every manager interviewing me was impressed with how I continue my education online while working full time. I had an instructors who are tough with the work load, and if you miss out on evidential information needed they have given me failing grades because of it. This school requires work and dedication. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking this is an easy option, especially if you are in the workforce as well.

I love SNHU. My advisers, teachers, and the support staff have been excellent in communicating with me. I enrolled while perusing my AA and they encouraged me to finish my AA out at the same time since I wanted that degree and to walk at my local community college. I highly recommend them to everyone who is busy or broke. Great financial aid offerings for everyone I talked to, and the twice a week check ins online is great!! I post to my DB Thursday and write my paper that is due on Sunday the short... Read More courses really help me focus.

When it comes to SNHU and your future education look for alternatives. SNHU is not the great, helpful community-based online program that they purport themselves to be. The commercials make me choke on the inconsistencies that I have experienced when their testimonials are on. My experience with SNHU was arduous, from the advisors, to the instructors, even the other students in the ‘classes’. Many instructors did not create the lessons plans so asking them questions about the goals of the assignments... Read More are pointless. I had one instructor reply to a lengthy question about how a particular assignment was to be completed and the response was essentially “I don’t make up the assignments. How about you try your best.” I also had an issue with an advisor who was more of a nuisance than a guiding and helpful force in the University. She would call constantly and ask me how I was doing in my class and then tell me what grade I had. Complete waste of her time and mine, but when I asked questions about my financial aid or what other elective where available I would get handed off to other people in other departments after being on hold for what seemed like forever. I asked to get a new advisor. That caused quite the uproar. After about two weeks I finally got a new advisor, but the road getting there was ridiculously convoluted and filled with “I can’t help you with that.” Or “I’m not sure.” I think I spoke to over six different people over the course of the two week period that said they would “Take care of it.” Only when I asked to be CC’ed on emails regarding my change in Advisor did I start to see how poorly the inner working of this institution were. Their OneStop Office, a terrible misnomer, is a network of individuals separated across the country that has got to be the most ineffective group of people I have ever tried to work with. No one knows anything, but someone on the other line may be able to help. The administration has a right hand who doesn’t speak to the left, the advisor was more of an annoyance than a help, and nothing infuriated me more than having to file and fill out COCE Dispute Forms about instructors which the Advisors are not quick to give out. I have read online that there are a number of people, including myself, who have felt as though there was a clear and obvious bias and discriminating behavior that the instructors inflicted upon their students. My advisor at the time tried to downplay and backpedaled in an attempt to make it seem as though there was nothing there when there very clearly was. The instructors are fresh out of their own degrees so if you want to learn something and not just spit back the information for that week/module I would suggest another learning institution. For someone who has attended this college for four years, there cannot be anything worse out there than this. I will not be continuing my education with SNHU as soon as my current degree is completed.

So far, I'm having a wonderful experience. The professors and advisors are very helpful. They do follow up calls and emails to make sure you're comfortable with the format. My professor always provides feedback positive or on what needs improvement when posting each grade. If they feel like you are unsure of what is expected or heading in the wrong direction they always make sure to touch base. The work load is a lot, but not overwhelming as with other online programs I've reviewed or attended. SNHU... Read More made sure to start my online program off slowly so I wouldn't be destined for failure my very first term or feel overwhelmed by the workload. As you build your confidence, you may increase the your courses.
