Summer 2019 - Spring 2020 Terms

These six courses have been reconfigured for completion in four terms, with two Friday evening/Saturday full-day class meetings each term, except for GRN272, which has three Saturday meetings. The 14 credits meet AHTA professional training requirements for HTR registration. All courses are taught as hybrids, with some required work conducted online and mandatory class meetings on the dates listed below. (Check PCC schedule for meeting times and locations).

The courses are offered as a sequence. If you miss a course, you need to wait for the following series to rejoin the sequence. In some cases, based on prior education and experience, the instructor may allow a student to begin the sequence late.
