A new part-time program coming to UofGH will allow you to complete your degree, part-time, while working.

Get your degree while working.

Everything about this program is designed to fit the life of an established professional.  That’s why courses are offered in what we call a hybrid format – meaning a mix of online and face-to-face classes.

It works like this:  the entire program is designed to take 2.5 years to complete.  It starts in September, and runs for eight consecutive semesters.  Need more time?  Our program is flexible, so that you may choose to spread our your courses over a longer period, if necessary.

Study with others who share your level of knowledge and experience.

Learn with like-minded people.  You’ve acquired several years of experience, knowledge and skills – and so has everyone in your class.

Learn from faculty who know the field because they work in it, too.

Our FCSS faculty aren’t just professors – they’re working in the field every day.  They teach you an evidence-based curriculum that’s meaningful and focused on what’s current because they are a part of the changing landscape.  And because of our small classes, you’ll get personal attention from these academic and field experts during and after class.
