Do you need to enhance your job skills by finishing or advancing your degree? At the Continuing and Professional Studies (CAPS) at UNH, our adult-learner-focused, career-enhancing degree programs keep you competitive and marketable.

CAPS turns your dream's into tomorrow's reality by:

• offering courses and degrees that successful careers require
• utilizing distance-learning, web-based, and hybrid delivery methods for many courses
• providing credit-by-exam
• engaging students with faculty who are professionals in their fields
• providing start-to-completion degree-planning worksheets
• emphasizing quality adult-student advising and academic services
• online and in-class options.

Flexible degree programs are available to meet your individual needs. Choose the traditional part-time evening or an accelerated program, or start with a professional development certificate program. The choice is yours!

CAPS requires that applicants for admission be at least 22 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, and have a 2.0 GPA for all prior college work. Applicants not meeting the minimum requirements will be evaluated on an individual basis.

Complete an undergraduate admission application, and submit it to the Undergraduate Admissions Office along with the nonrefundable application fee. Applications are available online at www.newhaven.edu. Submit an official copy of your secondary/high school transcript. A satisfactory General Equivalence Diploma (GED) is acceptable in place of a high school transcript. Submit official transcripts from all previous colleges/universities attended. Upon submission of a completed application, students will receive a formal admission decision letter from the Undergraduate Admission Office. If you are accepted, the letter will include registration information and a tentative transfer credit evaluation (if applicable).

At the Continuing and Professional Studies at UNH, we make tomorrow, and now is the best time to start yours.
