Program Curriculum and Requirements

Program Scope

The Certificate in Holistic Health Studies is available to anyone admitted through the College of Professional & Global Education/Open University. It is also available to matriculated students who have completed the minor in Holistic Health Studies. The curriculum includes an additional eight units beyond the units required for the minor. The certificate is ideally suited for individuals who already have an academic degree, who are already in a health profession, or who may be exploring career options. Also, since a holistic health perspective encourages self-care and self-regulation, the program can be an excellent choice for stress reduction, personal growth, and health promotion. Classes can also be taken without enrolling in the program, an ideal way to explore specific interests.

Note: Non-degree students apply through the College of Professional & Global Education.
