SNHU's New President Plans to Integrate CBE

[Jonathan Whatley]

As president, [Lisa Marsh] Ryerson said she will continue to build out initiatives she began as provost.

One will standardize the credits associated with Southern New Hampshire courses, eventually assigning credits for proven competencies instead of time for all courses. This new “one competency, one credit” framework, Ryerson said, will make it easier for students to get credit for prior learning — even in courses that are not in the competency-based education catalog.

She said she’ll also continue to prioritize workforce development initiatives.
