Is SNHU accredited in New Mexico?
Southern New Hampshire University is accredited by the regional accreditor the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), which is one of the regional accrediting bodies recognized within the United States by the U.S. Department of Education. This means, as an SNHU student — no matter what state you live in — you’ll be earning a degree from a respected university that is recognized nationwide for meeting accreditation standards.
It’s important to note that institutions are not accredited by state. However, regional accreditation, from accreditors such as NECHE, is widely recognized across the United States.
SNHU also carries specialized accreditations for particular programs.
Is getting a degree online worth it?
It has been for hundreds of New Mexico residents, and even more nationwide who have earned their online degree through SNHU. That said, only you can decide if it's worth it for you.
If you’re looking to move up in your current profession, expand your career opportunities or transition to a different field altogether, earning your online degree can be an excellent first step toward your goals.
What is the best online degree to get?
The “best” online degree to pursue is going to be different for everyone. For some, a 2-year associate degree is the best educational path. For others, it may be a 4-year bachelor’s degree. And others might be positioned for a graduate degree based on their previous academic work.
At SNHU, we offer over 200 online degrees – including associate, bachelor's, master's and certificate programs. So no matter what you hope to learn or achieve next, we can help set the right course for you.
Do employers look down on online degrees?
We can’t speak for every employer out there, but they shouldn’t look down on online degrees – especially if they're earned at a respected, accredited university.
Accreditation helps ensure that an academic institution meets a certain quality standard. And it's one reason so many SNHU graduates who earned their online degree have gone on to do impressive things in their careers.
Are SNHU degrees legit?
SNHU was founded in 1932 as the New Hampshire College of Accounting and Commerce, and has since evolved into one of the fastest growing universities in the country.
We’ve been offering online degree programs for over 20 years, are accredited by the regional accreditor NECHE and feature many programs that have achieved the highest levels of programmatic accreditation in their discipline.
