Like most education articles, this was written by someone who knows nothing about the wide variety of colleges out there. I don't think there is a University of Southern New Hampshire. There IS a Southern New Hampshire University. If that's the only school they can think of when it comes to colleges that grant credits for life experience (and they can't even get the name right), then they aren't qualified to be writing these types of articles.
