Southern New Hampshire University

I am thinking about pursuing my bachelors online at this school. I also live in California. Does anyone have any good or bad opinions on this school? Thank you.

 

A close friend got his MBA there after having gotten a BS in Engineering from a top 25 university and was favorably impressed with the SNHU program. He lives near Manchester so it was a good fit for him. SNHU (locals pronounce it like "snow" except instead of the "ow" sound it's like the "oo" sound). It's a very legit, old B&M university with the typical compliment of sports teams and such (mascot "Penmen", no clue what it means) that has taken advantage of the online revolution. The only caution I'd have is aren't there plenty of offerings closer to you that would raise less eyebrows and fewer questions?

 

They seem like my best bet. I would prefer a college that lets you work at your own pace like Southern New Hampshire University. If anyone has any recommendations for a similar school it would be appreciated and looked into. Thank you for your help!

 

I am still a little undecided. Either going for my bachelors in Healthcare information management/Healthcare Administration or BS in Public Health. I currently work in the medical field as a medical assistant and am trying to further my education. Later in life I may enter a nursing program but right now I am looking to get my B.S. Thank you!

 

Well I am trying to get a B.S. degree to both help me in the future if I decide to enter the nursing program but also benefit myself now career wise. Right now, I have been going to a traditional college to get my A.S. degree but doing it the traditional way while working full time means I will not finish in 3 years or more. At the end of 3 to 4 years I would rather have a higher education that would benefit me more than an A.S. degree.

 

There are a lot of schools that offer health-related degrees online. I'd look closer to home at first if I were in your shoes, unless you plan to move to New England, but in any event, there' nothing wrong with SNHU, it's a solid B&M school with nearly 90 years of history.

 

$320 per semester credit. This is not excessive, but not a bargain either imho.
Off the top of my head, APUS is slightly cheaper, you could check them out. Also, if you can breeze through studies quickly, WGU has the same degrees in competency-based format.
The cliché on this forum is to recommend the Big Three assessment colleges. Excelsior College has programs in Health Services. How good are you in self-study and testing? Are you open to more generic Liberal Studies, Professional Studies, or Business degrees?
