Post- High School Students

Why Continue Your Education?

Are you considering enrolling or re-enrolling in school to improve your career prospects?  Perhaps you are interested in making a career change or learning new skills.  Well, you're not alone!  According to the Institute for Research on Adults in Higher Education, adult part-time students now out-number traditional younger students at colleges and universities throughout the United States.  No matter what the reason for continuing your education, taking courses to improve career or life skills is the best way to meet the challenges of our complex technological world.

Start with YOU! There are many reasons for returning to school.  Many adults return to school because they want to change their lives or because an event has already changed their lives.  To learn more about continuing your education, and how you can plan and pay for it, visit http://www.nhheaf.org/a_whycontinue.asp

Another Path to a College Degree— New Hampshire’s Community Technical Colleges

As important as college is for personal and career development, not everyone is ready to jump right into a traditional four-year program when they graduate from high school. Often, high school graduates are uncertain about what they want to do and what their next step should be. Starting your college education at one of the community technical colleges and later transferring to a USNH college or university to complete your bachelor’s degree is an option you may want to explore. New Hampshire’s Community Colleges and USNH colleges/universities have agreements in place for easy transfer of credits. Information about the community technical colleges can be found at www.nhctc.edu.
