Other Program Info
Students can choose to complete the Health Unit Coordinator (HUC) program part-time. Part-time students will take longer to complete their program than students who follow the full-time sequence. Because every course may not be offered each semester, it is important for part-time students to reach out to their faculty advisor for help in planning their long-term, part-time course sequence.
Below, new students can find the first semester part-time course options. After the first semester, work with your faculty advisor to plan future semesters.
