SNHU Mathematics Degree Plan
Mathematics Degree Plan
Here is a Mathematics Degree plan for Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) as of approximately May of 2023. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.
The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students as to what courses will be the easiest and quickest courses to take. In places with multiple courses listed, the first course is assumed to be the fastest/easiest course to take.
Taking Alt Credit Courses Not on a Equivalency List
If you want to take courses from Study.com for example, it is best to get those courses approved before taking them. Contact the SNHU advisor to get courses approved.
MAT-243 Requirement
The degree requires Stats (MAT-243) however if you take Sophia stats (MAT-240) and take IT-140 intro to programming then SNHU will accept MAT-240 for the MAT-243 requirement.
Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses
Start with Sophia.org, do English Composition first. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows 2 courses open at one time, so after you start English Comp, do a course that doesn't have any touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, start doing other alternative credit courses.
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. At that rate, it would take 10 months to do 30 credits worth of courses.
