Academics

You're closer to your degree than you may think.

Learning is a lifelong process. Whatever your age or situation, Granite State College can help you reach your goals. Transfer credits from previous college work or request an assessment of professional training to determine if it qualifies for credit. Granite State College recognizes CLEP, DSST and other postsecondary education examinations.

We specialize in teaching adults. We know you are busy and must balance many responsibilities. GSC offers day, evening, Saturday, weekend intensive, online, and hybrid classes. More options allow you to learn when it fits your schedule.

Granite State College works to make sure we're providing you with the best education options. Our teacher certification programs allow you to work in a school system and earn your degree. Our Self-Design degree program lets you develop an academic plan to fit your academic and professional goals.

Course Delivery
In today's world, people's lives are busier than ever. How can Granite State College help busy adults find the time to fit higher education into their schedules?

We offer unique course deliveries to meet this important challenge. The result: more programs, new locations, new schedules, and innovative ways to attend class.

Take advantage of our flexible delivery options to fit your courses into your schedule:

Intensives
Instead of spanning twelve weeks, an intensive may last only four weekends or six Saturdays. Or, it may be a long weekend educational retreat held in locations as diverse as Waterville Valley, the Isles of Shoals, or the Mt. Washington Valley. Enrich your educational experience outside the traditional four walls of a classroom!

Online Interactive Courses
This exciting option is another way Granite State College meets the unique needs of adults. Through online courses (OICs), you have the convenience of learning when it fits your schedule, while benefiting from interaction with your instructor and classmates.

Contract Learning
This is Independent Study at Granite State College. You can create your own course with the help of an approved faculty mentor. Contract learning courses are useful when you want to study a topic of your own interest, or when there are time or distance constraints.

Flexible Classes
We offer traditional once-a-week evening classes, and also offer courses on weekends. If you want to attend class while your children are in school, we offer weekday classes. This alternative is also handy if you work at night.
