It serves over 1,600 students by combining classroom instruction with hands-on learning to teach the skills needed to succeed in today’s evolving workplace. Campus Expansion Although Vermont Tech began as a teacher’s school, it has expanded to something greater, offering over 45 degree and certificate programs.

The Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) campus, home to 3,000 full-time undergraduates from over 70 countries, is conveniently located just five minutes from downtown Manchester, New Hampshire’s largest city. Manchester has been named one of the top college towns in the country, and with the mountains, beaches, and Boston only an hour away, students say the campus feels like home. SNHU has always been committed to improvement, and over the past few years the school has constructed a new 50,000 square-foot Library Learning Commons, a new Welcome Center, and even a new quad in the center of campus. New athletic fields, new dormitories, and a new Science and Engineering building are currently under construction as well. SNHU strives to provide students with the resources and support they need to get the most out of their college experience, both socially and academically. With over 70 student-run clubs and organizations on campus, a robust career center, and professors who are able to take a personal interest in their students thanks to small class sizes, SNHU students know that their school is here to support them in all facets of college life. Bachelor’s Degrees in Just Three Years SNHU’s unique Degree in Three program — offered in accounting, accounting/finance, business administration, computer information technology, economics/finance, fashion merchandising and management, hospitality business, international business, marketing, operations and project management, and sport management — allows students to earn a bachelor’s degree in three years through a blend of traditional and non-traditional experiences. Degree in Three students can save more than $40,000 by graduating in six semesters with no night, weekend, or summer courses. Internships, real-world consulting experiences, and experiential learning opportunities prepare students for success by encouraging them to apply classroom learning immediately. Graduates pursue graduate school or full-time employment a year ahead of their peers. Outside the Classroom and Studying Abroad Work in a boutique in Italy. Live with a family in France. Serve children in Ecuador. Complete a hands-on community project in London. Intern at a local business in Greece. Through SNHU, study-abroad opportunities go deeper. Students attend classes at partner institutions abroad while actively engaging with local communities and participating in extracurricular activities that extend beyond the traditional abroad experience. SNHU is dedicated to keeping these experiences affordable, which is why tuition and room and board during your time abroad will cost no more than if a student lived on campus. SNHU will also pick up the tab for a student’s flight (up to $1,000) and the full cost of travel health insurance. The abroad experience takes many forms. Students have provided computers for classrooms in South Africa, read to kids in local schools, interned at the Beijing Olympics, played on nationally ranked sports teams, joined a fraternity or sorority, worked as Resident Assistants, were elected to Student Government, and so much more. Recently, a group of students ran a conference in Istanbul before heading to a partner school in Rwanda. It’s once-in-a-lifetime opportunities like these that transform the college experience! Internships and Real World Experience SNHU is dedicated to ensuring that graduates are moving right into competitive and fulfilling careers when they graduate. At many private universities, students are forced to seek out any potential career development opportunities themselves. At SNHU, it is built into the curriculum through classes like SNHU-303, a required course that includes résumé writing and/or critiquing, mock interviews, company and industry research, and networking strategies. SNHU’s top-notch Career Development Center (CDC) also offers counseling and skill-building sessions, organizes company site visits, and brings businesses and organizations to campus to interview students for jobs and internships. The University has established relationships with a number of high-profile employers who provide internship and job opportunities, including Fidelity Investments, Google, IBM, New York Life, Walt Disney World, LEGO Systems, the Boston Celtics, the Boston Red Sox, and Marriott International. Many SNHU students even transition straight from their internships into full-time employment! With SNHU’s national reputation, and a base of over 80,000 alumni, graduates are seeing their employment opportunities expand. Look no further than Morgan Munson, a recent graduate who now works in marketing for the Boston Celtics, or Mike Capalbo who landed his “dream job” for ESPN. At SNHU, career development opportunities aren’t just important—they are an essential part of student success. Private College Made Affordable College should change students’ lives, not break the bank. A private education should be affordable. That’s why SNHU students with high school GPAs of 2.5 and higher can earn up to $20,000 in academic scholarships in addition to generous financial aid packages. More than 90 percent of the students at SNHU receive some type of financial aid.

There are few feelings we can experience that are more frustrating than not knowing where to turn for help. It’s not unusual for college students, especially new ones, to encounter this sort of frustration — and it can happen on any college campus. But Touro College’s New York School of Career and Applied Studies (NYSCAS) has in place an apparatus that can get all of its students, no matter what year they are in, the help they need to succeed and achieve their goals. Getting Off to a Good Start There’s no doubt that college can be daunting. But there’s also no shame in reaching out for help and, at NYSCAS, help can arrive even before you are enrolled. When you stop into one of the College’s seven citywide sites, from the moment you arrive you’ll become the responsibility of a group of professional student services counselors with a common mission: to listen to you, provide information, and get you on the right track. First, you’ll meet with an admissions counselor who has in-depth knowledge of the College’s programs, which include fields such as business administration, human services, computer science, liberal arts, early childhood education, and much more. Together, you’ll spend as much time as necessary exploring your interests and goals, and considering what major fields of study might be right for you. Next, a financial aid counselor will discuss with you the best ways to pay for your education, and help determine your eligibility for a wide range of aid, including Federal, New York State, and internal Touro grants and scholarships. Finally, an academic advisor will help you plan your sequence of courses, making sure you will have satisfied necessary prerequisites before you register for each new semester and guiding you as you work to complete your degree requirements. All of this starts before the first day of classes and continues until you graduate. Be Smart—Don’t Delay A common error that college students make is waiting too long before reaching out to get help. A successful student learns that the time to seek assistance is when uncertainty sets in — not the day before an exam or when a paper is due. Outside the Classroom At NYSCAS that help comes in many different forms: The first links in the “chain of assistance” are your instructors, who are committed to helping you in any way they can. Many can make individual appointments with you if their regular office hours do not fit your schedule. Communicating with them by e-mail adds an extra measure of flexibility. Don’t hesitate to turn to your instructors for help! Be assured that they won’t think less of you if you don’t grasp everything right off the bat. In fact, they will respect you more because you asked for help. Reinforcement and personal attention are specialties at NYSCAS. For that reason, the College has established a policy whereby every student is entitled to one hour of free tutoring per week in every course! The tutors are all professional educators whose one-on-one approach has proven to be most helpful to the students who have sought them out. Consider the cost of hiring private tutors and you’ll agree that the NYSCAS system is a budget-friendly alternative. There’s More The help doesn’t stop there. NYSCAS has established an online tutoring service to supplement the other resources that the College offers. Students can submit papers online, ask questions 24/7, and have their work critiqued by professional tutors. Usually, a response will come within 24 hours, or even sooner. (No, these tutors are not going to write your papers for you — but they will help you understand how to improve them!) The Staff That Cares Whether you are a day or evening student, you’ll find the student services professionals at each NYSCAS site eager to work with you to address your problems or concerns. The College’s open-door policy means that you can approach any of these staff members at any time to get the assistance you need. With so many people willing and able to help, there’s no reason to feel “lost in the shuffle.” In fact, it’s one of the major reasons that more and more students are choosing NYSCAS to pursue their education. Come Meet NYSCAS Each of the College’s sites is close to mass transportation, and with morning, afternoon and evening classes, class schedules can be arranged around busy lives which often include full-time jobs and families to raise. To get started, visit any site, sit down with one of the counselors, and find out how eager they are to help you become a part of their family. You’ll soon discover that NYSCAS has one primary goal: to see to it that you are a success as a Touro student. Call (877) 338-4899 to make an appointment, or just come right in and meet with a counselor. NYSCAS is “The College with the Personal Touch” and from day one, you’ll certainly see why!
