About
History
Plymouth State University evolved from Holmes Plymouth Academy, which dates back to 1808 as a pioneer institution for teacher training. As early as 1836, the Reverend Charles Brooks lectured before the Legislature of New Hampshire and throughout the state on the subject of normal schools.
Education
Today’s digital, interconnected age has disrupted traditional industries, and you want more than a just traditional college degree for career success. A Plymouth State education will give you the vital critical thinking and collaboration skills prized by employers.
You’ll work with students from other majors, and with faculty, regional partners, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. You’ll gain real-world, résumé-boosting experience beginning in your very first semester, tackling “Wicked Problems” of your choice (from sustainability to social justice, and education to artificial intelligence—to name just a few).
Career
“CAs” are student paraprofessionals who represent Residential Life, supporting its philosophy and striving to enhance the mission of Plymouth State University. Community advisors live in assigned residential communities on the same floors as residents and serve as their immediate resources.
