Yes, many of our Graduate and Doctoral students attend classes part-time and work full-time. The Nutrition MS program however, suggests full-time attendance since classes are primarily offered during the day.
Since the science courses get closed very early at Hunter, we suggest that prospective graduate students complete their prerequisites as an “Undergraduate Second Degree” student at a local Community College. If you are interested in taking them at one of the CUNY campuses, you can utilize the “ CUNY TIPPS ” tool to check equivalencies between courses.
