Southern New Hampshire University Students involved in the exchange program are subject to the rules, regulations and restrictions in both the home and visited institutions.

Army and Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps The Army and Air Force offer Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs leading to a commission as a second lieutenant in their respective services. Both programs are open to men and women. Students in either ROTC program may pursue any university curriculum that leads to a baccalaureate or higher degree. Two-, three- and four-year programs are available. The fouryear program is open to freshmen and to transfer students who began ROTC at another institution. In addition to oncampus ROTC course requirements, students must attend an officer-preparatory training session for six weeks during the summer between their junior and senior years. ROTC is open to all students pursuing baccalaureate degrees who have a minimum of two academic years or more remaining within their degree programs. Entering freshmen may pre-register for Military Science 413 Introduction to ROTC (Army ROTC) or AERO 415 The Foundations of the USAF I (Air Force ROTC). Courses consist of classroom instruction combined with a leadership laboratory and are held at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Sophomores desiring to enter ROTC should check with either the Army or Air Force enrollment advisers located in Zais Hall at the University of New Hampshire. Two-year ROTC programs are open to students who have two academic years of study remaining at the university. Applicants for the two-year program must attend a six-week training session during the summer immediately before entering into ROTC, prior to their junior years. Students in Air Force ROTC are required to take a math-reasoning course from a list approved by the professor of aerospace studies as part of the curriculum.
ROTC Scholarships The Army and the Air Force offer ROTC scholarships. Entering freshmen may compete for four-year scholarships during the last year of high school. Students in the four-year and two-year ROTC programs compete for scholarships to cover the cost of their remaining academic years. Scholarships cover full tuition, all mandatory university fees and required textbooks for all courses. Limits may be placed on these scholarships depending upon the type and amount of expenses incurred. All scholarship recipients also receive a tax-free $200 monthly subsistence allowance. More specific information about ROTC scholarships and programs may be obtained by contacting the professor of military science (Army ROTC) at 603.862.1078 or the professor of aerospace studies (Air Force ROTC) at 603.862.1480. 32
Academic Programs The Undergraduate Curriculum Southern New Hampshire University believes that undergraduate students should receive a broad education in the liberal arts and intense practice in oral and written communication in order to succeed. Recognizing that successful leaders must be able to view problems from a variety of perspectives, the university mandates that all students complete courses in writing, the fine arts, the social sciences, mathematics, science and public speaking. First-year students must take SNHU 101: First Year Seminar: Foundations of Critical Thinking. Students who wish to further augment their learning may choose to take more advanced general education courses as free electives. Some students may be required to take ENG 101 Fundamentals of Writing and MAT 050 Fundamentals of Algebra in addition to the 48 credits listed below.
