In September 2008, the university launched its first doctoral program, a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics. In 2017 the university expanded to a location in Nashua, New Hampshire.
In September 2011 the university started two new associate programs, the Associate of Science in General Engineering and the Associate of Science in Hospitality Management. In fall 2012, the Master's of Science in Psychology was launched.
