About

More than 40 years ago, Granite State College embraced a powerful goal: no matter where you live, no matter your age or income, if you’re motivated to pursue a college education, you should have access to it. Since 1972, this has been our purpose.

In our earliest days, we featured evening and weekend classes that fit the schedules of working adults. We’ve steadily built upon this foundation. Today, you’ll find courses offered online with a range of flexible options. And, support is available both virtually and in person so you’ll have guidance every step of the way.

With associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, post-baccalaureate programs for teachers, credit for prior learning, and a variety of transfer opportunities, we emphasize areas of study that are responsive to the needs of employers.

Quality matters, too. We are the leading public provider for online degree programs in New Hampshire and top-ranked among the nation’s best for “Best Online Degree Programs” by U.S. News and World Report.
