St. Kate’s has been a leading educator in holistic health studies for 25 years. Today, 62 percent of adults in the United States use complementary/ alternative modalities, according to the National Institutes of Health. Career opportunities in holistic health are ever increasing as integrative models of health have moved into the mainstream and there is a public demand to have professionals with expertise in this field.

Within the program there is a deep commitment to the development of a model of integrative healthcare that brings together the best of scientific medicine with the wisdom of the elders. Through our curriculum you’ll learn to respect and honor new and time honored approaches to healing from varying cultures, while honing valuable skills in self-empowerment and self-care, leadership and collaborative research.

In addition to our campus faculty, we attract holistic healthcare leaders in the community to teach courses and offer experiential learning opportunities. For example, St. Kate’s has fostered a unique partnership with the Powderhorn Phillips Cultural Wellness Center. Faculty and elders of the center offer St. Kate’s students two courses on site: Culture as a Resource in Health and Healing, and Organizing for Social Change.
