The Master of Arts in Holistic Health Studies is an interdisciplinary program that is intended for those who wish to pursue advanced studies related to the whole person and mind-body-spirit integration.

This program is based on the philosophy of the interconnectedness of all nature and grounded in the principles, strategies, and concepts related to optimizing the quality of life through mind-body-spirit integration.

This 36-credit program (27-credit core course requirement and 9 elective credits) provides professionals with the educational framework necessary to explore the role of holistic health as an integration of Western conventional (allopathic) and Eastern traditional approaches to health, spiritual, and psychological meaning and our relationship with the environment.

The program focuses on the study of principles and techniques that ensure mastery of content and competence in mind-body-spirit integration, quality of life, and complementary (traditional) health care. Course work is based on a scientific foundation and a philosophical paradigm that includes both Eastern and Western approaches to health. The program provides the framework for students to develop a personal philosophy based on holistic principles related to physical, social, mental, spiritual, and emotional well being. Opportunities are provided to explore choices within holistic health that affect human connectedness and encourage respect and cooperation with others and with the environment.
