SNHU new gen ed requirements

[LevelUP]

Ok, here's a new update from another SNHU employee

SNHU employee here. We don’t get trained on Sophia (so each person has different levels of knowledge) and communication about the new program requirements has been a mixed bag.

At the end of the day it depends on many factors:

Are the credits still valid? They can go up for re-evaluation/expire. Best to check with an advisor before you start a class.

What classes are you looking to get credit for? Free electives are your safest bet. As of now we don’t have a 1:1 match for most of the new gen ed courses.

In my experience Sophia has transferred into the new gen ed program. You’ll need to do a bit of work yourself pull up your program evaluation and the academic catalog to see what classes are required then check for similar classes at Sophia.

My advice: If you have space in your free electives you can do some trial and error. Take a class or two and see where it goes. If it goes into your gen eds great! If not it’ll go into your electives so you’ll get credit either way.

Possible outcomes:
1. The employee that says you don't need exact course matches is right.
2. The employee that says needs a 1:1 match is correct.
3. GE needs 1:1 match however, they may be exceptions like before.

I looked for 1:1 matches, here's what I got for courses through Sophia or Study.com

CSOJ NA (SNHU 107 use to have an exception if you transfer in 12 or more credits)
