Master's Degree Programs

Applicants who have earned a bachelor's degree or a graduate degree at an accredited institution in the United States or the equivalent of this degree from a comparative foreign post-secondary institution will be eligible for application to the university.  The decision to admit an applicant to a program is based on a combination of criteria according to the requirements of the specific graduate program.

While many of our students have work experience in business or professional settings, we also encourage applications from students who are completing their undergraduate studies.  Prospective students may apply for admission to the university during or after their final year of undergraduate study, but must supply proof of graduation before the end of the first term at Southern New Hampshire University.

Provisional admission may be granted to applicants with an undergraduate GPA within the 2.25 to 2.74 range.  Under this status, a student is allowed to enroll in a maximum of two graduate courses and must earn grades of a "B" (3.0) or better in both courses prior to matriculating into a graduate program of choice.  Student is subject to program availability at the time of matriculation.
