Earning a college degree can be a significant investment of both time and money. At Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), we understand the desire to achieve your academic goals as efficiently and affordably as possible. That’s why SNHU recognizes the value of alternative credit providers like Sophia Learning, offering a smart pathway to accelerate your degree journey and reduce tuition costs.
As Kierra Coxwell ’21, an SNHU graduate, shared, “I utilized Sophia to minimize my degree time. Instead of my degree taking 4 years, I managed to finish right at a year and a half. This really cut down on the cost and my time that I put in. Now I can graduate with a master’s in the same time it would have taken me to get a four-year degree.” Her experience highlights the powerful impact of leveraging resources like Sophia Learning.
