    Full Time, Part Time

The Master of Science in Integrative Health Sciences degree offers health professionals an opportunity to gain a deep background in integrative health in order to meet the growing demand for wellness-oriented strategies to improve health outcomes and well-being. A professional healthcare license or current enrollment in a healthcare program leading to licensure is required for admission consideration.  

The program stacks three Advanced Practice Certificates – Mind-Body Medicine, Integrative Nutrition and Integrative Health Education & Leadership – with a capstone course that delivers a 30-credit MS degree. A research course may be required as determined by the program director.

I have learned so much about the mind-body connection as well as the many different treatments to help patients. I have always been open to and interested in nontraditional treatment modalities, but these courses have expanded upon this interest significantly. I now have this desire to further explore integrative medicine and how I can better help myself and my patients. I am grateful to be able to continue on this road of self-improvement and hope to be able to make more of a difference for my patients.
