Nearly 80% of the students at Granite State College take at least one online class, and many pursue their associate, bachelor's, or master's degree entirely from a distance. Online programs feature fully asynchronous coursework, giving busy students the flexibility they need to explore subjects like digital media, health and wellness, human resource administration, and operations management. Blended, hybrid, and accelerated programs are also available. Regardless of their degree level, all students at the college complete an integrative capstone project that prepares them for the next stage in their careers. These projects may involve participating in an internship, remotely collaborating with a faculty member on a research project, or developing a business model for a new entrepreneurial initiative. Applying to an undergraduate program requires a high school diploma or GED certificate, but you do not need to take the ACT or SAT. Graduate applicants must have a bachelor's degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA. While the college does not require the GRE or GMAT for graduate-level admission, prospective master's students must submit two references, a resume, and a personal statement.
