Every instructor at NHTI givesstudents as much individual time as necessary to ensure success. Now, I’vetransferred all my NHTI credits toward my Bachelor’s Degree at UNH-Manchester under the dual admission program. I recommend NHTI toanyone interested in the high speed communications field.”Specific Admission Requirements1. Completion of high school Algebra I & II with grades of “C” orhigher or NHTI’s MT 108 and MT 109 both with grades of“C” or higher;2. Basic skills in written English and reading comprehension arerequired;3. High school Physics, Geometry and Chemistry are recommended.Internship ConsiderationsThe college must ensure that individuals (customers, employees,etc.) at internship and service learning sites are not adversely affected bystudents during learning experiences. Therefore, students participating ininternship and field experiences must demonstrate the emotional stabilityrequired to exercise sound judgment, accept direction and guidance froma supervisor or faculty member and establish rapport and maintain sensitiveinterpersonal relationships with employees, customers and clients.32Though this curriculum is designed to be completed in the format listed, students may choose to take more time, depending on their individualcircumstances. Students who anticipate taking more time to complete the program are strongly encouraged to consult with their department head at thetime of registration each semester to ensure that prerequisite requirements are met and course selection is appropriate.
