Four Steps to Career Success

SNHU's Career Services team works with students throughout their studies and after graduation to explore, develop and achieve their career goals.

Step 1: Earn a Career-Focused Degree

In 1932, SNHU was founded with the belief that education should be practical in its application. Known then as the New Hampshire Accounting and Secretarial School, students gained in-demand, marketable skills in bookkeeping, accounting and secretarial courses.

Today, we remain true to our roots by providing more than 300 high-quality, career-focused programs - designed with you and your career in mind. We continue to update and improve our courses and programs, making sure the knowledge and skills you gain are aligned with the ever-changing demands of modern industries.

Step 2: Explore the Right Career Path for You

Have a career goal in mind or still deciding? Our career teams will guide you through the process of exploring your career interests.

Here's how SNHU Career Services helps you explore:

• Career assessments. Gain insights on your strengths, interests, and how individual skills map to potential majors and career paths.
• Career path resources. Understand points of entry and typical career ladders professionals climb when pursuing opportunities in a specific professional field.
• Individualized career coaching. Career advisors are focused by industry and provide expertise in specific career fields to help students hone in on the skills and experience needed to pursue their chosen field more effectively.
