New Hampshire White Pines College is a small college by design. We enroll classes of highly talented men and women in our Bachelor of Arts degree programs, and our Associate of Arts program in Liberal Studies. The College assesses students' abilities in many ways. Because it is a small college, the White Pines College application process is highly personalized and flexible. The College believes that the best assessment of a human being's intellectual and creative ability results not only from an assessment of written materials that are part of an application file, but through an ongoing communication with the applicant.
Grades are important but are secondary to successful completion of a rigorous academic program.
Depending upon the student's choice of major, artistic achievement may be a significant factor in the evaluation. The College requires the student to be a graduate of a regionally accredited secondary school or its equivalent. In addition to other qualities, the student must be capable of oral and written communication at the college- entrance level, as well as living and studying successfully in a small college environment. White Pines College operates on a rolling admissions basis. In general, this means that an application is evaluated and a decision made within two weeks of the application becoming complete.
