The career diploma programs are designed for individuals who already have a degree, or do not wish to embark on a degree program at the present time, but who want to develop new career skills. The Academic Advising Office can refer you to other on-campus support services in Durham, as well. Phone-in advising appointments are also available. Depending upon your experience and academic background you may be invited to meet with an advisor in a small group. You are asked to bring copies of your transcripts.
Courses are available throughout the day and during the evening hours.
Associate Arts students are expected to complete six courses from UNH's General Education Requirements to assure a broad liberal arts background. In addition, students may elect courses in any one of several academic fields. The associate's degree can be a steppingstone to earning a bachelor's degree. Credits earned in the program are transferable into a baccalaureate program should you decide to pursue one. With the assistance of the Advising Office, you can select courses that will maximize your efforts toward your educational goal, whether it is moving into a UNH baccalaureate program or obtaining specific career skills.
