FAQs

Can I complete the program part-time?

Programs can be completed full-time or part-time. Many programs are set up to be part-time, with most containing fewer than 10 credit hours in any given semester. We know you have a lot going on, so want to make sure that school can fit into your schedule. Note: There are some exceptions.
Are your online programs asynchronous, or on a different schedule, versus your on-campus programs?

Yes. Although UC Online programs follow the same academic calendar, they have unique schedules depending on the course.

(There are a few exceptions to the asynchronous components, please view program FAQs for more information)
Do your online courses follow a particular schedule or can I take the course I choose?

Students follow an intentional sequence of courses. Our main didactic courses (Hematology, Chemistry, Immunohematology, and Microbiology) will be available on a rotating schedule; i.e. each course offered every five semesters. The first semester courses are available each semester and must be successfully completed prior to a student entering the main didactic courses. Once you complete the first five semesters, you will enter the 6th and 7th semesters which have courses that are offered each semester.
