UNH College of Professional Studies


Over 50 years ago, the University System of New Hampshire embraced a powerful goal: no matter where you live, no matter your age or income, if you鈥檙e motivated to pursue a college education, you should have access to it. In our earlier days as College for Lifelong Learning, we featured evening and weekend classes that fit the schedules of working adults. We steadily built upon this foundation as Granite State College until merging with the 糖心视频 in 2023 as the UNH College of Professional Studies. Our core values remain.

The 糖心视频 brings together students, faculty, and private and public partners to create life-changing opportunities and innovative solutions in our neighborhoods and worldwide. With associate, bachelor鈥檚, and master鈥檚 degrees, post-baccalaureate programs for teachers, credit for prior learning, and a variety of transfer opportunities, UNH College of Professional Studies focuses on areas of study that are responsive to the needs of employers.

Full Life, Busy Routine鈥 Also a Student

The 鈥渘ontraditional鈥 view of a college student is our norm鈥攊n fact, nearly half of all college students in the U.S. are aged 25 or older, yet most perceptions are wrapped around a traditionally-aged 18 to 22-year-old student audience. For those who don鈥檛 fit this mold, it can make you question whether or not you should return to college or begin this journey as an adult. However, a college education is听always within your reach, even if you fit the 鈥渘ontraditional鈥 mold.

Our students and alumni are living examples of how 50% of college students wear many hats鈥攚ork, family, and other commitments鈥攚hile also, a student.
