I have few heroes in higher education. The SNHU president, Paul LeBlanc, is one of them.
I agree. As it is, most of these lower-tier colleges provide only a thimble of academic work and learning. Maybe they get some sort of trade credential out of it, but they are unlikely to graduate with more than a junior high level of math and English skills, historical understanding and abstract thinking.
Didn’t mean to offend. I lived in Boston for several years and I have never heard of SNHU.
If this pandemic does anything, cleaning out academia might be the best thing to come out of it.
Do they have their “sexual preferences” online?
The school dates from 1932 when it was the New Hampshire Accounting and Secretarial School. It's had the benefit of excellent leadership in recent years under the current president.
I like to think of mine more as "predilections."
we are experiencing proof that large campuses are unnecessary. Much of school including college can be done at home or a distance.
Unfortunately liberal faculties and unions control education no matter white’s best for the kids.
Athletes can play for town teams and then go into the majors. Schools don’t need those large facilities and 30 sports teams.
Libraries can be online.
Yep, the poor man’s Harvard.
The beauty of "online" education is that one professor who is among the best in his field can replace all other professors who aren't online. Once the internet takes over education, masses of teachers, administrators, and supervisors are going to be looking for work. The smart ones will find a living as tutors to students needing a boost.
AGREED
So renamed. Maybe that’s why I haven’t recognized the name. Best wishes to you for a successful career.
A friend of mine got her Undergrad and MBA through their online programs. She was always smart as a young woman and very motivated. She’s leveraged that into a great career.
I worked for their Athletic Department as a contractor for ten years. They always struck me as a sharp organization.
And THAT will be the free college the government supplies in the future. I am fine with that. Have local facilities that provide labs and the required hands on situations.
If you want professors to be rock stars....that’s how you will do it. Also, you could pay them like rock stars.
There was nothing in my first two years that needed to be taught on site.
But...kids don’t want free college. They want the college experience. And they won’t get that “on line.”
Harvard is legendary for the quality of its graduates, but not is the same way as City College.
Quite a few retired military in upper management. Everyone's called "Colonel".
