Why Study Education at SNHU?

The curriculum
In Southern New Hampshire University's School of Education, we base our classes, our programs and our degrees on a few simple principles:
  • Working together, we must be active partners in the communities we serve.
  • We must improve public education.
  • We must be committed to service and to excellence in all we do.

Each of our programs is a unique blend of theoretical insights, research-driven foundations and practical experience.

At SNHU, you won't just listen to us talk about these ideals. Instead, you'll work alongside us in the diverse communities with which we work. Our programs serve all levels of students and community members, from infants to grade-schoolers to adults.

Our undergraduates earn bachelor's degrees in child development, early childhood education or in one of several programs in K-12 education. If you're pursuing teacher certification, you'll be in the field as a first-year student.

Our graduate students earn certificates and master's degrees on campus, on location, online or in our innovative field-based programs. Graduate students can study child development, school counseling and school psychology, as well as curriculum and instruction or secondary education.

Students forge links with their communities at the same time they acquire a solid background in their discipline. For example, our undergraduates earn a minimum of 120 hours of field experience before they become student teachers.

Whichever path you choose, you'll be engaged, active and a real part of the community you'll be serving.
