US News & World Report today named Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) as the North’s Most Innovative University in 2024, marking the eighth time SNHU has held the top spot since the rankings began. SNHU is the only institution from New Hampshire to make the list.
“We take great pride in our ability to innovate to better serve and support learners,” said SNHU President Paul LeBlanc. “At SNHU, we have a long history of innovation and trying new things to make higher education more accessible, so it’s an honor to be recognized for this work.”
Unlike many of US News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” rankings, the “Most Innovative Schools” category is based solely on a peer review survey of college presidents, provosts and deans of admissions. These academic leaders have recognized SNHU as an institution that consistently implements innovative improvements in curriculum, faculty, student support, campus life, technology and facilities.
