Integrative Health Studies
The Integrative Health Studies MA is the first in the nation to prepare leaders in the expanding fields of integrative wellness and of health coaching.
Integrative wellness is an individualized, client-centered approach to health, combining a whole person model with evidence-based strategies and practices. Through health coaching, students learn how to assist others in setting and achieving health goals, and in changing lifestyle behaviors, by employing integrative tools such as meditation, breath work, yoga, guided imagery, mind-body techniques, whole foods nutrition, exercise and movement, stress management, and indigenous medicine.
Our program teaches rigorous scholarship, embodied practices, scientific investigation, mind-body-spirit integration, health equity, cultural sensitivity, and community activism. We stress ways of knowing, traditional healing wisdom, and evidence-based modalities to create a multidisciplinary, multifaceted learning environment.
Apply for Fall 2016 admission by August 1 (U.S. students) or June 1 (international students)
