At SNHU, we believe in hands-on learning
You won't just sit in a lecture hall listening. You'll learn by doing, with programs designed to prepare you for your career. You’ll develop real-world skills and the confidence to go out and achieve your goals.
School of Arts, Sciences and Education
From studying cells under the microscope in a lab to enjoying the 24 acres of trails in our on-campus
arboretum, learning at SNHU isn't stuck in a textbook.
Here, you might find yourself student-teaching in an elementary classroom or workshopping a social ad with
your peers. If breaking down case studies and analyzing crime scenes is more up your alley, we do that, too.

**The Applied Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) is a 93-credit, three-year (six-semester) program designed to provide students with an accelerated bachelor’s degree. This reduced-time and reduced-credit program has been approved by SNHU’s institutional accreditor, the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). However, the standard baccalaureate degree remains a four-year (eight-semester), 120-credit program. Students who choose this pathway can complete both their bachelor’s degree and MBA in just four years*. This program meets admission requirements for SNHU master’s degrees, but students should be aware that other institutions may have different admission criteria. Prospective graduate students are encouraged to verify specific requirements with their intended institutions. The Applied Bachelor of Science in Business Administration includes learning experiences with translatable skills to help build a solid resume and prepare graduates for the workforce. However, as this is a novel program structure, students should be aware that some employers may have varying perspectives on a three-year degree. * Dependent on students maintaining full time enrollment in both the Applied Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and the MBA.
NEW 3-year Applied Bachelor of Science in Business Administration*
At SNHU, you can earn your business degree in just 3 years — saving time and money while gaining real-world experience. Our Applied Bachelor of Science (BSA) in Business Administration* combines hands-on learning with essential business skills to prepare you for success across industries. Plus, with our accelerated 93-credit program, you can complete your bachelor’s and MBA in only 4 years total when enrolled full time.**

Manchester, NH, is close to everything!
Living like a local is more than knowing the best food spots in town (and there’s a lot of ‘em). It’s cheering on the Fisher Cats with your best friends. It’s taking a watercolor class at the Currier Museum of Art. It’s catching a performance at the Palace Theatre. But if you’re looking to head out of town, you can also find mountains, beaches and the city of Boston only an hour away.
Gold and blue look good on you
From books and water bottles to SNHU gear and more, swing by the bookstore so you’ll be ready for class on day one. No matter what you choose to wear, how you get involved or what your goals are — you’re one of us.
Are you a parent or supporter of a student?
We love to speak with student family and supporters about admission, life at SNHU, financial aid or anything else you’d like to discuss. Give us a call at 603.645.9611 or email us at admission@snhu.edu. Or visit our SNHU Campus Parents, Families and Supporters Page for more information.
