Holistic Health Studies Graduate Certificate

The master’s-level holistic health studies graduate certificate program consists of at least 12 credits from the holistic health studies curriculum. Students receive a master’s-level certificate that will complement many other disciplines or prepare them for further work in the MAHS program.

The program is geared toward students who already have an advanced degree but wish to enhance their skills with training in holistic health. The program is also a great introduction to the field for students who are interested in holistic health but may not want to commit to a full master’s program yet. The certificate program can be completed in 2–4 semesters.
