Editing SNHU !General Education Requirements Roadmap

== General Education Requirement==
Here is a General Education Requirements that will work for all degree plans for the [[Southern New Hampshire University]] (SNHU) as of approximately June of 2023. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.
=== Alt Courses===
The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students regarding which courses will be the easiest and quickest to take. 
===Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses===
Start with [[Sophia.org]]. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows two courses to be open at one time, so only complete one course at a time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, move on to Study.com.
===How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?===
Full time is 2 courses per 2 month term at SNHU and max of 3 courses per term once you done a couple of terms.  At that rate, it would take 8 to 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.    

===Source of Credit===

This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.
