The BS.AE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Anthropology is the study of people and their non-human primate relatives over space and time. It is the study of how human society has changed from a social, historical, and evolutionary perspective. Anthropology is a field that bridges Science and the Humanities examining and producing both qualitative and quantitative data. Anthropologists think holistically about the human society working to understand similarities and differences through cultural, biological, archaeological, and linguistic lenses. Anthropology prepares students for careers in the United States and abroad. Since the anthropology degree at Southern New Hampshire University is skill focused, it uniquely prepares students to either be employed following graduation or enter a graduate degree program. The application of anthropological skills is at the core of the degree program. The uniqueness of the degree is in the inclusion of skill-based concentrations that expand the list of potential jobs for which a graduate can apply. The Anthropology core courses and concentrations stress the application of anthropological theory and methods to real world problems through experiential assignments, ethnographic case studies, data collection, and the acquisition of skills in a specialty area. Anthropology is inherently multidisciplinary, and as such, its specialty areas draw from elements of many different fields in the sciences and humanities.

The purpose of the B.A. General Studies is to serve those students who want a broad general education without an in-depth study in one discipline area. This program provides students a broad education that permits them the freedom to take coursework in multiple academic disciplines but, at the same time, allows them to earn a concentration in one area of study. The degree consists of four separate sections. The first section of 42 credits is the university general education core. The core provides the broad general education that the university believes should be the foundation for all SNHU students. The second component of the degree consists of a degree planning course. The third section of the general studies degree is the 12 credit concentration. The final section of the general studies degree consists of 63 credits of free electives for students. These free electives serve multiple purposes. First, they enable the student to explore different discipline areas; an exploration that may lead to their changing their general studies degree to a specific discipline major or it may lead them to continue their general studies program with a specific concentration. Free electives also allow students who have chosen a concentration to complete any prerequisites that may be required for courses in that program. NOTE: Students must take or transfer at least twelve credits of 300-400 coursework in the BA General Studies program.
