In 2005 we changed our name to Huntington College of Health Sciences (HCHS) and in 2018 to Huntington University of Health Sciences (HUHS) to reflect our expanded academic offerings. Our students come from all over the world and include nutrition counselors, homemakers, health food store professionals, registered dietitians, chiropractors, registered nurses, dentists, physicians, massage therapists, psychologists, nutritional product marketers, military personnel, business executives, pharmacists and others seeking to enrich their knowledge of nutrition. We are proud of our courses as they reflect the tremendous strides that have recently been made in the field of nutrition education. The knowledge you gain from successful completion of your courses will bring you to a new level of health awareness that, if properly applied, should have a profound and lasting effect on your health as well as those you motivate to a healthier lifestyle. We are also proud of the fact that HUHS is the first nutrition institution to attain accreditation by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission. The Distance Education Accrediting Commission is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a recognized accrediting agency. You can study and learn at your own pace, at a time and location that is best for you and at a considerable savings versus the tuition of most traditional universities. That’s why more than three million Americans are currently advancing their knowledge through accredited independent study. After you have reviewed our website, please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or for additional information. We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you to our student body. Sincerely, Gene Bruno, MS, MHS Provost 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS A Message from HUHS’ Provost ..................................................................................... 2 Accreditation and State Authorization ........................................................................... 6 Tennessee Authorization Statement ................................................................................ 6 Legal Control of Huntington University of Health Sciences ......................................... 7 2020-2021 Administrative Office Calendar .................................................................... 7 What We Believe ......................................................................... 7 Mission Statement ............................................................................................................. 8 Objectives........................................................................................................................... 8 The Huntington University of Health Sciences Difference ........................................... 9 Delta Epsilon Tau .............................................................................................................. 9 School of Integrative Nutrition and Healthcare ........................................................... 10 DIPLOMA PROGRAMS ..................................................................................................... 10 DIPLOMA IN DIETARY SUPPLEMENT SCIENCE (DIP.D.S.S.) ........................................... 10 DIPLOMA IN HERBAL SCIENCE (DIP.HERB.SC.) ............................................................. 11 DIPLOMA IN WOMEN’S NUTRITION (DIP.W.N.) ............................................................. 12 Undergraduate Programs .............................................................................................. 13 ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE IN INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION (A.S.) .......................................... 13 Bachelor of Science in Integrative Nutrition (B.S.) ...................................................... 15 Graduate Programs ........................................................................................................ 18 MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INTEGRATIVE NUTRITION ......................................................... 18 DOCTOR OF SCIENCE (D.SC.)
