In contrast to the most common test-optional policies, SNHU operates as a test-blind college. This means that it does not consider or require SAT or ACT scores for admission purposes.

The primary motivation behind test-blind policies is to promote equity and inclusivity in the admissions process. Please double-check with the school to verify the current and complete admission requirements.Required
