Under an instructor’s guidance, students learn at their own pace to complete a course in 8 weeks (5 weeks in summer). You can start the program in whichever term they are ready—spring, summer, or fall—and may take courses throughout the year to accelerate completion. Students choose from one of two tracks:
- Health and Human Services: Helps develop the tools needed to make a positive impact in your community, including physical and mental health, ethics, communication, and organizational leadership.
