About a dozen years ago, Southern New Hampshire University was a private liberal arts college with a few thousand students. Finances were tough, so university leaders took a risk by investing in online education.
Judged only by the campus, it’s still a small school. Yet some 100,000 students took at least one online class from SNHU over the past three terms, says Sasha Thackaberry, who until recently was the university’s assistant vice president for academic technology, course production and alternative learning models.
