Southern New Hampshire University, also known as SNHU, is a private, nonprofit, coeducational, and nonsectarian university situated between Manchester and Hooksett, New Hampshire, in the United States. The university is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE) of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and also has specialized accreditation for its schools and programs. ==History== The university was founded in 1932 by Harry A.B. Shapiro and Gertrude Crockett Shapiro (his wife) as the New Hampshire School of Accounting and Secretarial Science. In 1961, it was incorporated and renamed New Hampshire College of Accounting and Commerce. The state of New Hampshire granted the college its charter in 1963, which gave it degree-granting authority. The first associate degrees were awarded that year, and the first bachelor's degrees were conferred in 1966. The college became a nonprofit institution under a board of trustees in September 1968, and its name was shortened to New Hampshire College in 1969.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 The 1970s were a time of growth and change. The college moved from its downtown Manchester site to the now campus along the Merrimack River at the northern border of Manchester with the town of Hooksett in 1971. The college introduced its first Master of Business Administration program in 1974, and now almost four decades later offers more than two dozen specialized MBA programs in fields such as forensic accounting, project management, information technology management, and corporate social responsibility. New Hampshire College absorbed some of the programs of Franconia College, which closed in 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Good Company - Southern New Hampshire University: A Leader in Educational Innovation )〕 Campus expansion began in the mid-1990s with the construction of a new residence hall; Webster Hall, home to the School of Business; the Hospitality Center, home to the Quill (a student-run restaurant) and culinary programs; and Belknap Hall, now home to the Institute for Language Education, Office of Transfer Admissions, the School of Education and several university offices, including the Office of Admissions. In 1998 academic offerings expanded to include the Ph.D. in community economic development and the Doctor of Business Administration.〔 One of the most important events in the institution's almost 80-year history was when New Hampshire College became Southern New Hampshire University on July 1, 2001. A new academic facility, Robert Frost Hall, containing the McIninch Art Gallery and a new state-of-the-art Center for Financial Studies, was completed in 2002. When nearby Notre Dame College closed, three of Notre Dame's graduate education programs and two undergraduate education programs transferred to SNHU.〔 Paul LeBlanc, the university's President, is one of the signatories of the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment, and in 2007 SNHU became the first carbon-neutral university in New Hampshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Signatories List by Institution Name )〕 The 2009-10 academic year brought the completion of two new buildings: the Academic Building and the Dining Center.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://catalog.snhu.edu/content.php?catoid=1&navoid=25 )〕 The 2013-14 academic year saw the opening of a new 152-room residence hall, Tuckerman Hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=New Hampshire Union Leader )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=SNHU )〕 In 2013, the university announced that it would be replacing the outdated Shapiro Library with the new Learning Commons. The new facility will house the library, the information technology help desk, a café, and media production services. It opened in the fall of 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shapiro Library )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southern New Hampshire University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
