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.

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.
