Part-time Programs 

Part-time Day Program

For students who need a more flexible pace without sacrificing the energy of a live classroom, the Part-Time Day Program offers a thoughtfully structured path to completion in approximately 16 months. Part-time day students attend two days per week alongside their full-time peers, experiencing the same curriculum and classroom community while managing a schedule that better accommodates work, family, or other commitments.

The program is divided into two halves, each with its own designated class days:

​

• First Half — Mondays & Tuesdays:

  • Monday: 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM

  • Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM

• Second Half — Wednesdays & Thursdays:

  • Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM

  • Thursday: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM​

​

This midpoint shift in class days is a deliberate design choice — it keeps the part-time experience dynamic while ensuring students have consistent peers and instructors throughout each phase of training.

​

Evening Program  

The Evening Program is WNCSOM's part-time option for students whose days are simply not their own. Meeting twice a week over 58 weeks, this program is ideal for working professionals, parents, or anyone who needs to keep their daytime hours free while still pursuing a meaningful career change.

​

Evening classes meet on the following schedule:

• Tuesdays & Thursdays: 5:00 PM – 9:30 PM

​

The Evening Program enrolls once per year, so prospective students are encouraged to plan ahead and secure their spot early. Though the hours are different, the curriculum, standards, and graduate outcomes are identical to the day programs — students complete the same 700 hours and graduate fully prepared to sit for licensure.
