You’re about to make a big decision –where to earn your college degree.

Thanks for considering SNHU. With more than 40 majors to choosefrom, award-winning professors who not only teach but inspire, andone of the most affordable private school tuition rates in New England,we think we can make your decision an easy one. Ready to see all wehave to offer? Turn the page and go.

Go for the GradePursue your passion – and your career – as you build a program that fits you.

You have unrealized potential just dying to get out.

SNHU is a traditional private university but not a

typical one. We believe there are no limits to what

you can achieve or who you can become, so we’d like

to spend the next few years helping you combine your

passion and an innovative education to realize all the

potential you have.

At SNHU, you don’t just learn. You experience

learning – through lively discussions, team-based projects,

internships, volunteering at special events, attending

workshops, observing master teachers at area schools,

presenting at trade shows. We understand that you will apply your

education more by getting these opportunities outside of class. So we’ll

work with you to build in those all-important hands-on

experiences that employers love to see on a résumé.

We will give you the flexibility to shape your degree

around your interests and ambition. You can combine

majors and minors across schools to create a one-of-

a-kind skill set. You can choose between a business

or liberal arts foundation. You can even put your

degree on the fast track by participating in one of

our three-year programs, such as College Unbound, which

substitutes classroom time with project-based, real-

world learning experiences.

Because SNHU is a teaching university, all facultymembers teach the courses themselves –which means their primary focus is you.

For Communication major Heidi Quigley ’13, it started with a paper

she had to write on renewable energy for an English class. She didn’t

know much about the subject at the time, but the more she researched,

the more she had to know. It quickly dawned on her – she had just

discovered a new passion for environmental issues. And she knew she

would have to take some courses that fed that passion, even if they

weren’t part of her major.

At SNHU’s School of Arts of Sciences, that was no problem. Quigley’s

advisor worked closely with her to build a program that fueled her

curiosity and supported her career goals. And before she graduated

in May 2013 – with a BA in communication and minors in

environmental studies, marketing and public relations –

she already had an offer from a company to lead their

environmentally conscious marketing efforts.

“My professors were always so willing to help,” says

Quigley. “Any time I had a question, I knew who to go to.

I never felt like it was just about the grade either.”

Quigley – who earned the 2013 Outstanding

Student in Communication and 2013 Peer

Educator of the Year awards – completed

three internships during her time at SNHU,

which she says were instrumental in

helping her land a position.

“I can’t tell you how many emails

I got about available internships

(while at SNHU),” she says.

“Everyone just really wants to

see you do well.”

Go Lead With Purposeand PassionLucas Moran ’13 was in the home stretch of earning his BS in Business

Administration as part of the 3Year Honors Program. And he already

had a great position lined up with the Fortune 500 IT company where

he was interning. Then one day, due to steep cuts, just like that, his

future job was a thing of the past.

He was a little disheartened, but he had a year of

real-world experience under his belt through

his internship and three years of intensive

training working in teams, presenting,

researching and analyzing methodologies.

“I got such a well-rounded experience in the

program that I felt like I could literally go into

almost any area of business. I felt incredibly pre-

pared to find a job,” says Moran.

A few months later, he did

just that after attending

a seminar he learned

about through the Career

Development Center.

Because of his education

and experience, Moran

grabbed the attention of

Fidelity recruiters and

ultimately landed an IT

job at the company.

Brad Campion ’16History and Social Studies EducationUniversity Honors Program

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Go Make a DifferenceAfter narrowing down his scholarship offers, Brad Campion ’16,

then a high school senior in Bethlehem, NY, made visits to each of

his top schools. A stand-out soccer player, he knew his meetings with

the coaching staffs would play a big role in his final decision. But

soccer was only part of the equation. He also excelled academically

and was looking for a university that would prepare him for his other

passion – teaching.

When he visited SNHU, Campion noticed something special – a

strong sense of community. “I felt at home from day one. Everyone

is so tight-knit, you have so much support everywhere you turn.

And to have a president who’s so involved, who will Tweet back

to you and have open office hours, that was huge to me.”

Campion was also impressed with the School of Education’s Honors

Program and the fact that education students started gaining the

required 100 hours of field experience their first semester – unlike

so many other schools that make you wait.

As he wrapped up his freshman year in the Honors

Program, double majoring in history and social

studies, it seems clear that SNHU was the right

choice for him. Along with

getting very involved in student clubs

and organizations, Campion earned

the Academic Achievement Award

and the National Student-Athlete Day

Award for scoring the highest GPA of

anyone on the soccer team for the fall

2012 semester.

“There are so many opportunities here,”

says Campion. “And the staff and advisors are

always right there for you. They’ll help with anything

you want if you just reach out.”

Liz White ’08Head Cake DecoratorCarlo’s Bake Shop

Go Fire Up Your CareerEarning a culinary degree from SNHU won’t necessarily prepare

you for success on a reality TV show, but it certainly helped alum

Liz White ’08, now a regular on TLC’s “Cake Boss.” The New Jersey

native started interning at Carlo’s City Hall Bake Shop in Hoboken

the summer after her first year in SNHU’s baking and pastry arts

associates program. Two years later, TLC created a series around

the specialty cake store’s charismatic owner, Buddy Valastro,

and White became part of the ensemble cast. She’s now Head

Cake Decorator at Carlo’s.

“I was able to come into it with some baking knowledge,

so I didn’t just have to listen to people tell me what to

do,” says White, who earned her AS in Baking and

Pastry Arts in 2008 and BAS in Hospitality

Administration in 2010.

Although White’s career path is certainly unique,

students in the culinary programs can expect the same

close attention from faculty she enjoyed, as well

as countless opportunities to gain hands-on

experience in the Hospitality Center.

“Classrooms” include The Quill, our

award-winning student-run fine dining

restaurant; Caffé É Dolce, a popular

coffee and pastry shop; a commer-

cial kitchen, a large ballroom and

special labs for catering, baking, cold

food and food production. And there

are numerous off-campus learning

experiences offered, including class

trips, consulting projects, community

service and internships/cooperatives.

“I loved my experience at SNHU so much

because I was able to really connect with a

lot of the people, students and faculty alike,”

White says. “And I knew that there were people

always looking out for my best interests.”

A Campus That’s Going PlacesNew construction, new buildings and new renovations meanexciting new opportunities for you to explore, learn and grow.

New Academic Center (Opened 2009)

With state-of-the-art classrooms, Mac and game design

labs, group study rooms, and a learning commons where

you can grab a bite to eat and study in between classes,

our new, spacious eco-friendly Academic Center is fast

becoming a student favorite.

New Dining Center (Opened 2010)

From pizzas to paninis, from stir fry to salads, no matter

what you’re craving, chances are you can find it at one

of the eight restaurants located inside our new Dining

Center. Eat inside at one of the many booths or tables

in the common area, or outside on the patio on those

beautiful fall and spring days.

Robert A. Freese Student Center (Renovated 2012)

It’s no wonder this is such a popular spot for students. It

includes the campus store, coffee shop, wellness center,

Veterans Lounge, chapel, SNHU’s radio studio, The Last

Chapter Pub and many other student development offices.

Tuckerman Hall (Opened Fall 2013)

Students are excited to learn that they now have a shiny

new environmentally friendly residence hall on campus.

The 308-bed coed facility features high-efficiency lighting

systems, secure entrances and spacious common areas.

New Learning Commons (Fall 2014)

True to its name, when the new Learning Commons

opens it will serve as a hub for academic resources,

support, and development for students and faculty.

Inside you’ll find a new state-of-the art library, IT help

desk and Learning Center, where our undergraduate

day students will go to get extra assistance with classes.

It might sound like an exaggeration, but there’s truly never been a more exciting time to be at SNHU. Just walk around

campus and you’ll see why. New buildings are going up. Existing buildings are being renovated. And students now have

more reasons than ever to live, work and play on campus. And while these physical changes can’t convey the welcoming

and caring community you’ll experience when here, they do convey our commitment to providing you with the best

facilities, equipment and technology to reach your full potential. Here are just a few recent examples of our progress:

Go Get InvolvedWith more than 65 clubs and organizations to join, and lessthan five miles to downtown Manchester, you have countlessopportunities to get involved, give back and have fun.

You’ve probably browsed through our majors, got a

glimpse of what we offer academically, and now you’re

wondering, “What’s there to do for fun?” It’s a popular

question. And the simple answer is, “A lot.” Just take a

look at the sidebar on the right that lists all our clubs

and organizations. But that’s just part of the story. There

are also special events, concerts and performances

on campus each semester, student- and faculty-led

community volunteer efforts, intramural sports, a fitness

center, an exercise studio, an Olympic-regulation pool

and any number of other events such as the wildly

popular Bingo Night at The Last Chapter Pub.

You’re also a short drive (or heck, even a bike ride) from

downtown Manchester, which Forbes magazine named to

its most recent “most livable cities” list. So you’ll be close

to major concerts and professional hockey at the Verizon

Wireless Center, minor league baseball games at

Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, all the nightlife hotspots

and restaurants around Elm Street, specialty apparel

stores and boutiques, kayaking spots along the Merrimack

River, and the renowned Currier Museum of Art.

It’s also important to know that Southern New Hampshire

University is a multicultural, multiethnic, multi-gender

and multigenerational university, committed to creating

a safe, welcoming environment for all students. Our

Office of Diversity Initiatives, for example, collaborates

with students, faculty and staff on educational and

enrichment activities and events that help support

underrepresented students while promoting the larger

message of inclusivity. There are also three student

organizations dedicated specifically to promoting

diversity across campus – The Beloved Community,

the International Student Association and Generation

Equality. And SNHU recently formed the President’s

Commission for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender

and Queer Advocacy, which focuses on ensuring a safe,

positive experience for students, faculty, staff and alumni

who identify as part of the LGBTQ community through

advocacy, policy review, programming and education.

SNHU has a long tradition of volunteeringin its community. Students, faculty andstaff regularly raise money for (and lenda hand to) organizations such as theAmerican Cancer Society, Habitat forHumanity, United Way, New HampshireFood Bank, Operation Frontline, SalvationArmy and many more.

Where Student Athletes Go All OutWith new records broken, new personal bests topped andnew sports added again, the Penmen remain among the eliteDivision II athletics programs.

• Consistently ranked among the top programs in the

country, the men’s soccer team has participated in

19 NCAA Tournaments since 1986 and advanced

to the NCAA Tournament national championship

game in 2002.

• The men’s basketball team, a longtime New England

powerhouse, has claimed six NCAA Regional titles

and has advanced to the Division II Final Four twice.

• Three teams (men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s

basketball) claimed Northeast-10 championships in

2012-13, while men’s and women’s tennis reached the

NE-10 final.

• The men’s baseball team earned an NCAA Division II

bid the past two seasons in 2011 and 2012.

• A record-high six teams reached their respective

NCAA Tournament in 2012-13 (baseball, men’s

basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s

and women’s tennis).

Our facilities outperform, too. The athletic complex is

home to a 5,500-square-foot fitness center, a 2,000-seat

field house, an auxiliary gym, a 25-meter competition

swimming pool (with viewing gallery), a racquetball

court, a mirrored dance room, training and team rooms,

and more. Outside facilities include four lighted tennis

courts, recently renovated and lighted baseball and

softball diamonds, practice fields and a lighted

soccer/lacrosse field that features a state-of-the-art

FieldTurf surface (viewed by many as the “ultimate

all-weather surface”).

“ At SNHU, you automatically have a group of friends if you’re on a sports team. You have a team of people who are there for you and have your back so that youcan always walk on the field feeling more confident.”

Experience Manchester, Boston and BeyondGet to Boston, the beaches or the ski slopes in less than an hour.

Just five miles down the road (easily bikeable) is

downtown Manchester, which Forbes magazine named

one of the “most livable cities.” Here’s where you can

find nightlife hotspots and restaurants around Elm

Street, major concerts and professional hockey at the

Verizon Wireless Arena and minor league baseball

games at the Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

There’s also so much waiting for you to explore around

the region – especially within an hour’s drive. All you

have to do is point your car in the right direction and go.

If you’re looking for adventures in the great outdoors,

travel less than an hour north and you’re able to hit the

slopes in the White Mountains, or drive an hour east and

you’re at the beaches of Hampton and Rye.

Travel about 50 miles farther south and you’ll end up

in downtown Boston, which is a big draw for a lot of

students, personally and professionally. You can catch

all the major professional sports or visit world-renowned

museums. Another big advantage to having Boston

close is that you have so many more opportunities to

intern, network and gain that all-important real-world

experience employers are looking for.

Immerse yourself in other cultures, discover new

perspectives and visit some of the most historic places

in the world by studying abroad. We have partnered

with selected universities from around the world to offer

all levels and in numerous majors—along with options for

internships or service learning. Study for a full semester

overseas or take part in one of our summer programs.

• Airfare (up to $1,000) and Health Insurance

• Support Before and After Your Program

• Transferable Credits and Grades

Boston Consulting Group, where he oversees information technology

for BCG’s 66 offices in 28 countries. He earned his bachelor’s degree

in IT at SNHU, and today he is a university trustee.

“I started college thinking I wanted to go into marketing, but SNHU

afforded me the opportunity to explore other disciplines, including

information technology, which was just beginning to explode at the

time,” he says. “Experiences and opportunities at SNHU encouraged

and built my confidence. It prepared me to take on the information

technology revolution and allowed me to be successful across com-

panies like IBM, Wang and now BCG.”

“SNHU was the perfect fit. They took a chance on me, and it paid off!”

the level of professor and on the level of being

a person. I never needed to ask for help.

They were always just there, assisting me,

Nathan YatesBS in Economics and Finance

Attention is given to the qualities industry leaders say they

want in employees. As a result, we’ve often been told that our

graduates contribute from day one on the job – while others

need the most basic of training before they can even get started.

We have great relationships with a number of

respected and high-profile employers who

provide internship and job opportunities.

Career DevelopmentWe take your career development and your

job search very seriously. SNHU’s Career

Development Center will work with you

to find internships in your major area

and provide career counseling. But

that’s just the beginning.

The Career Development

Center also hosts networking

events and job fairs with

employers, on-campus

recruiting, career planning

and job search resources, and

help with résumé writing and

interviewing. Staff can also help

you select a major and prepare

for graduate school.

Go-getters Transfer HereWe can help you finish what you started.

“Transferring to SNHU was easy. I had a lot ofresources and contact information given to me to help the process go smoothly.”

Melanie Blackman ’14BA Creative Writing

Melanie Blackman transferred to SNHU as a junior in the fall of 2012. A member

of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society at NHTI – Concord’s Community College,

where she previously attended, she earned admission into SNHU’s Honors

Program and quickly immersed herself in learning the art and craft of writing.

“I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to write and receive guidance from people

who really know what they’re doing,” she says. “It’s so helpful to have teachers

who know the business.”

Blackman credits her seamless transition to SNHU in part because

she attended SNHU’s weekly transfer orientation course during her

first semester. “I found out who to talk to for study abroad and

internships, and learned about activities on campus to meet new

people. That really helped.”

Save Time and MoneyYou’ve worked hard to earn all those college credits.

That’s why we make it easy to transfer them in so you

can graduate quickly and affordably. SNHU lets you

apply up to 90 credits toward a bachelor’s degree, and a

transfer admission advisor will work with you to help

make your transition to SNHU as simple and seamless

as possible.

Turn Your College Credits Into a College DegreeWhy is SNHU such a popular choice for students

looking to transfer? Perhaps it’s because we offer a

flexible, versatile bachelor’s degree program in every

school so students with wide-ranging interests and

career goals can maximize their time here. Perhaps

it’s because we will transfer credits from another

college or degree as well as previous eligible military

experience into the program of your choice. Perhaps

it’s because we offer partnership agreements and a

Regional Community College Scholarship that rewards

students who understand the value of working hard.

Lastly, we provide all the support needed to our transfer

students – before, during and after they graduate.

Affordability and ScholarshipsSNHU is one of the most affordable private universities inNew England.

Students and parents are often surprised to discover

that an SNHU degree, with all the benefits of a private

education, is more affordable than a public college or

university where the real costs are often hidden within

the fees, lack of grant aid and huge classes. SNHU can

be the school you love and the school you can afford.

Applying for Financial AidFinancial aid funds are awarded based on availability,

so it’s smart to apply as early as possible. Complete the

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at

www.fafsa.ed.gov. (FAFSA code is 002580).

Help With the Bottom LineAid is awarded based on academic merit and financial

need. Athletic, academic and other scholarships as well

as federal parent and student loans and grants are also

available. Our One Stop counselors will work one-on-

one with students and families through the steps of

financing their education.
