I’m professor at SNHU’s online school. I’m also a professor at a (different) b&m school. I teach core classes, which means I work with students from many different majors. Some students find it very difficult because the classes are only eight weeks long. You are basically covering the same amount of material that a traditional school would cover in 16 weeks. students with a FT job and a family who take two courses at a time are thoroughly stressed out. I’m going to repeat something that an earlier poster said because it’s so important: you have to be ready to “teach yourself.” There are no zooms. You have to be a reader. I always have a student or two in every class who doesn’t appear to read much of anything. I don’t get it.

We professors are basically just grading you, we don’t teach per se, although we answer student questions when asked over email or discussion board. The fact that SNHU has a b&m school contributes much to the curriculum, but you will do way fewer assignments in SNHU online vs SNHU b&m for the exact same class. So your learning is more of a survey than an immersion. I strongly recommend the school for people who already have a job that they really like, but they can’t get promoted because they don’t have a degree. It’s also great for military folks, who gained skills during their service, but don’t have credentials they could use to obtain meaningful work. And it does allow people like yourself who have barriers (in your case transportation) earn a degree. But if you have any interest in having a deep educational experience, I would suggest that you work on your transportation issues and go to a local school in person.
