SNHU is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) institution with a mission — your success. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students who pursue their bachelor's degree at private nonprofit institutions have much higher graduation rates than their counterparts at for-profit schools.
SNHU is a private, accredited institution. As a private university, we rely heavily on private donations, contributions and tuition to provide nationally recognized education to our students. SNHU offers countless resources to ensure student success, including, but not limited to, merit-based scholarship programs, dedicated advisor support and lifetime access to career services for alumni.
No, SNHU does not require SAT or GMAT scores. We believe that standardized tests do not effectively measure a student's subject knowledge, or their ability to succeed. Additionally, by eliminating this requirement, students are able to pursue a faster, more flexible pathway to their education.
No. SNHU doesn't require supplemental essays for admission through the Common App, but we do require a personal essay as part of the individual section on the Common App.
