How many weeks is 9 terms total?
Hello Molly,
Thanks for your interest in our HIM program! Our program is actually 6 terms total and each term equals 14 weeks so that would be 84 weeks total spent in class. If you have any further questions I am happy to help.

Hello, I am looking to enrol in the fall semester 2013, I would like to know how can I get started. I hope to take the RHIA in June 2012. I would like to start off at one course at a time if possible. Can you please send me some information regarding the process.
Hello La’Quita, please call me when you can. I would love to discuss the length of the program, the format, and send the application steps. In the past, I’ve found a phone conversation is the best way to discuss this information.
