International Student in SNHU

[FullFocus]

Hello

This Post for International students (not applied if you hold USA passport), you can enroll in SNHU's India Online program. The courses are taught in English by Indian instructors, and you can receive a 60-65% scholarship, This scholarship reduces the total cost to just $3,735 for four years, which amounts to $933 per year. Additionally, there is a similar program for Spanish speakers, though I'm not sure of the exact details, but the cost is likely comparable to the program in India. You can find more information on the SNHU India website: https://in.snhu.edu/

Looking at Latin American SNHU, they offer a few different bachelors from the US. They have Marketing and a Environmental science, Organizational Business, Finance, Project Management, Business, International Relations, 3 types of Communications degrees, Psychology, Cybersecurity, Computer Science, IT.

2 certificates one Agile and another Business Project Improvement

Masters MBA, Supplies Management, Entrepeneurship, MBA tech information, MBA Project Management, Finance, Leadership, Marketing, International Business, Digital Marketing, Communications Marketing, Corporate Finance, Investment Finance, Cybersecurity and Psychology.

Catered to Mexican and Colombian citizens, they wish to see an original of highschool certficate ideally from Mexico or Colombia but the wording is in such a way even US nationals could apply as long as they show proof of reaidency not being in the US. 100% in Spanish, they accept up to 90 credit transfers. Seem to readily accept transfer credit from accredited Mexican and Colombian universities.

Looking at gen reqs, seems the same as English SNHU, they ask English 1 and 2, no foreign language. Could be a very interesting option to qualified students with a bunch of Latin American college credit that can't afford to translate transcripts to English.

Accredited by New England NECHE, no RVOE as expected. I can't see costs posted anywhere.

Hello everyone, I've been checking on the Latin SNHU option and we exchanged a few emails, where I bombarded them with questions. I've got the impression they were trying to avoid a direct reply to some of them, but at the end, the Admissions Counselor told me that Sophia/Study.com type of credits would not be admitted in the transfer process because "they are individual courses, and only third-level university courses can be transferred".

I have to confess that after a few days reading the forum and trying to understand the whole US system and requirements, that left me totally confused and considering the TESU way again. By reading Reddit it seems like it's being very common for SNHU to give contradictory information about this lately. It's really a shame because they were even offering a scholarship. By the way, in case this interests anyone, I am not from Latin America but from Spain, and they said that was fine.

PS: They use a site called Scholaro for transferring the credits, apparently, and charge around 209$ for it.

Thanks for sharing this! Very useful.

Just had a quick question about how the scholarship works—does it apply per year, or is it calculated based on credit hours?

Would love to get a bit more clarity on that.

Hi, this is the info they wrote me:

Special scholarship - limited time only

Package - 8 courses (2 per term, full time)
Normal cost: $2,440
Discount: 54.5%
Price with the discount: $1,111
Monthly cost: $139

Total estimated per year: $1,660
Total estimated per degree: From $5,552

If they were transferring ACE credits it'd be a great offer to get the degree even cheaper than TESU

2500 mxn a month is a great price. It is quite surprising they opted for this online college catered to Mexicans in the first place considering the UNAM and IPN offer most of the same degrees for free. 2500 mxn a month is still 6 times more expensive than an autonomous state school, but certainly beats the sticker price of the expensive private schools which can cost as much as 18,000 mxn a month. Maybe more depending on the degree.

I relaly wonder how many Mexicans have decided to try this school out, though. With the UNAM's free online school and UVEG only costing 16 USD a month for undergrad degrees, I don’t think there is a particularly large market in Mexico for a 4 year degree you can't accelerate like UVEG for 8 times the price of an UVEG degree. Especially since the demographic curve is starting to really hit the country hard. Schools left & right are closing because there's less children than 20 years ago and the buildings are being turned into adult learning centers.

Since the degree curricula are based on the US system, there isn't a lot of courses from Mexican schools you can transfer. Maybe they will accept a Mexican Literature or Biology course. But the curricula of Mexican English courses are more aligned towards ESL learners to pass Toefl exams and not write essays. I think if they started accepting ACE transfers, they'll get a lot of buzz. Especially in countries where college is prohibitively expensive such as Argentina.

Unless you're in other parts of the world, this SNHU option isn't available for you, most of the people on the board is from the US... Having said that, would people from say, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or Europe have an option similar to this? I know the Europe option is available for a very similar price range... If so, how does someone get that discount or scholarship? I guess asking them directly would be the option...
