About the Program
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.
First Semester Course Options
ADSC 1003, COMM 1055, COMP 1002,
Options differ depending on whether you plan to start in the fall or spring semester.
