Welcome to Huntington College of Health Sciences
Mission: The mission of Huntington College of Health Sciences (HCHS) is to develop accessible, convenient and comprehensive distance education in nutrition and the health sciences, and deliver it to students from all walks of life. Our goal as faculty and staff is to educate our students, from undergraduate to graduate, through a broad array of academic programs of the first rank. The integration of conventional health sciences and scientifically sound alternative approaches to the health sciences is one of HCHS’s special strengths.
Dear Prospective Student:
Your interest in learning more about our institution is appreciated.
Huntington College of Health Sciences was founded in 1985 as the American Academy of Nutrition, to meet the tremendous demand for an accredited independent study program in nutrition. In 2005 we changed our name to Huntington College of Health Sciences (HCHS) 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 very proud of the fact that HCHS is the first nutrition independent study college to attain national accreditation by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council, the first accrediting agency for home study recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
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
