Online (UNH-Granite State College)
The UNH College of Professional Studies (CPS) Online undergraduate programs are nationally ranked and cater to working adults who balance personal and professional responsibilities. CPS Online admission and transfer policies are designed to ensure that motivated individuals have access to a high quality college education. Our expert faculty are passionate about providing a transformative learning experience for every student.
Most CPS Online undergraduate students transfer credits from previous education, and those with prior knowledge, job training, or relevant experience may receive credit towards their degree. Students with an associate degree can benefit from Transfer Pathways, which waive most general education requirements for bachelor’s degrees and provide opportunities for additional tuition savings. Supporting workforce development is a top priority for the University of New Hampshire and CPS Online demonstrates this commitment through cultivation of tuition partnerships across many industries.
Degrees
CPS Online offers associate and baccalaureate undergraduate degree programs.
Outcomes-Based Learning
Our greatest concern is that our graduates develop a specific set of skills and abilities.
The College’s outcomes-based degree programs and curriculum:
- Provide standards to be met in demonstrating competence.
- Form a base from which to design and pursue learning activities.
- Foster the ability to demonstrate self-directed learning.
In addition to individual student assessment and grading, learning outcomes assessment is conducted in all programs to ensure the quality of our programs and to prompt ongoing improvements in teaching and learning.
