Huntington College of Health Sciences offers the following four individual certificate short-courses as an alternative to conventional college credit courses. The certificate short-courses are shorter, more condensed and are given without the award of college credits. Each course will be graded on a pass/no pass basis. A Certificate of Completion is awarded upon successful completion.
These courses are intended to provide basic and specialized knowledge to individuals within the nutritional/natural products field (retail, fitness or clinical setting) in order to enhance their knowledge and credibility. They are also well suited for those who seek to further their own personal knowledge in nutrition in order to help family and friends.
Students will be assisted through their studies with a course study guide. This guide will help students organize, plan and focus their studies in order to maximize learning from the course materials. On average, a student studying five hours a week should be able to complete a course in five weeks.
These Certificate Short-Courses are administered from the College’s California location.
