Do you need to know it – fast? Study anthropology, dance, global studies and more – within the span of a few days or up to eight weeks – thanks to Allan Hancock College’s spring 2017 short-term classes. These classes are popular with individuals who want or need to complete classes at a faster rate.
These classes meet eight weeks or less – many are only one or two days, or on weekends! They begin throughout the semester, while nearly 80 short-term classes begin in March.
The classes still available include art, business, early childhood studies, emergency medical services, English, graphics, multimedia arts and communications, speech communication, welding technology and more. Classes are offered at the Santa Maria campus, Lompoc Valley and Vandenberg AFB centers, and online.
Registration for eight-week classes is now under way and continues through March 26. Registration for classes less than eight weeks is taken up to the day prior to the start of class.
All students register online via myHancock, which is accessed from the college’s website atwww.hancockcollege.edu; click the Student tab, then Register/Add/Drop/Search Classes.
