Granite State College is primarily an online school. It offers incredibly flexible classes, consisting of 12-week terms. When I first enrolled, I based my choice on affordability and flexibility. From the moment of my first phone call with my advisor, I knew I made the right decision. My advisor has been there for me, offering encouragement every step of the way. It had been years since I attended college, with several unsuccessful attempts. For the first time, I finally have the confidence to not only succeed, but ultimately complete my degree. I am incredibly grateful for all the tools and lessons that Granite State has provided to me. I am ecstatic to see what the future holds for me, thanks to Granite State College!

Would not recommend. Graduated in 2011 and have no job never uses my degree for anything my classmates work as cashiers or mail sorters third shift or something for $10-12/h. It is an adult college ir a night school not a university where your degree is valued by employers

Christine - 09/18/2018

Granite State College is an amazing school. The flexibility that is offered is extremely helpful. The teachers and academic advisors are always readily available for questions and answers. Even though the school is spread out across the state, there is a personal feeling between all members that is hard to beat.

Granite State College (GSC) is an outstanding, and highly accredited online school of education. Thanks to GSC, I have been able to work full-time as a nurse, in order to pay for my living expenses, and make monthly payments towards my tuition, all while being a full-time student. Let's face it; life is tough today without a great education. GSC provides individuals the chance to succeed at their own pace, in an affordable, and stress-free way. Their professors and academic advisers are always there to provide guidance and support. My overall goal is to become a Memory Care Director, so that I can enhance the quality of life and care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia. The requirements are that you are a practical nurse, with a bachelor's degree in a related field (what better than psychology). After I took the first step in becoming a practical nurse, I never thought I would have what it takes to get my bachelor's degree, due to time and finances. However, GSC made this possible for me. Thanks to GSC for believing in me, I now have a 4.0 GPA, and intend to graduate in Summer of 2018. Once graduated, I will have no doubt that my chances of becoming a Memory Care Director will be easily in reach. Granite State College will forever have changed my life for the better.
