To earn a UNHS diploma, students must complete at least 200 credit hours (20 units) and must also take a minimum of five courses with UNHS. Request a transcript evaluation and one of our advisers will develop a program of study for you. Effort is made to keep this list as current as possible, but students should always confirm with a UNHS adviser to make sure they are on track with graduation requirements.
