The Ultimate Flexibility
Designed for adults who desire to integrate their educational goals with the complex demands of work and family, Holy Names University graduate and adult undergraduate programs are offered in flexible weekend and evening formats. Courses are scheduled in such a way that new students may enter a program at any of several points throughout the year. Once matriculated, students proceed at their own pace, taking as few or as many units as they wish in any given term, even stopping out for a term or two whenever they find it necessary. Flexibility also allows weekend and evening undergraduates to mix traditional day courses into their class schedules whenever convenient. Enrolled undergraduates are also welcome to take lower-division requirements in General Education or their major at a community college concurrently with their courses at Holy Names.
