Full time and part-time options are available. The standard part-time track is designed so that students complete the program in 39 months rather than 27 months. Non matriculating students must submit a short application and are welcome in midwifery program courses after receiving approval from the instructor. Matriculating students with previous midwifery or relevant health care experience or education may be able to waive or challenge courses and shorten their length of enrollment. Policies regarding waivers and challenges are included in the Student Policies later in this catalog.
Additional information is available upon request.
