Huntington University offers individual online courses during the summer; online degree completion programs for adult learners; and three online master's programs in counseling, organizational leadership, and pastoral leadership. Online students may also earn a master's degree in education at the university by taking a small portion of their courses on campus. Degree completion programs at HU allow students to quickly earn a bachelor's in areas such as nonprofit leadership, criminal justice, and social work. Online classes run for five weeks, and students typically take just one course at a time. Additionally, all programs at HU integrate a Christian worldview. Applying to a degree completion program requires an associate degree, while admission to a graduate program requires a bachelor's degree. HU does not require prospective students at any level to take an entrance exam. Roughly 90% of admitted students receive some form of financial aid, with HU awarding approximately $12 million in scholarships and grants each year.

with midrange acceptance rates have higher standards of entry but

students stayed to continue their studies the following academic
year. These students started in Fall 2019 and returned in Fall
2020.
Graduation Rate Insight
67% of students
graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their
