The concentration in Clinical Nutrition is a specialized program developed for the student seeking a comprehensive nutrition education based in the philosophy of natural and integrated medicine. Nutrition is not only the sum of all processes of mastication, digestion and assimilation, but also relates to an individual's environment, emotions, background and lifestyle. The Clinical Nutrition program approaches overall nutrition through the physical, mental and emotional, taking all variables into account. By learning evaluative, therapeutic and preventive non-invasive modalities, the student will learn well-rounded holistic nutrition. This program is an essential base for any integrated holistic health profession and/or healthy living program.
The concentration in Botanical Medicine degree program offers a comprehensive study of herbology and natural healing teachings. The student will learn herb identification, selection, harvesting, horticulture, usage, herbal formulation and preparation. The course of study includes the evolution, teaching, advancement of natural healing, dynamics of the human body, taxonomy and description of herbs, constituents of materia medica, and applications for Master Herbalists. You will learn preventive medicine through the study of the basic principles of natural healing: cause of disease, nutrition, elimination therapies, and herbal cleansing for the entire system including training in the proper application of wholesome herbs and simple therapies. With enough materials to create your own library, this program includes over 26 hours of video cassette herbal-therapy instruction. All seventeen courses (Vitalist, Herbalist, and Master Herbalist) and the six-day certification seminar in the Master Herbalist program provides the training to place the student at the highest level of herbal competency. Thus, the concentration in Botanical Medicine is a combination program that will provide the student with a Bachelors in Natural Health Sciences (B.S.) degree from the University and a Master Herbalist (M.H.) certification.
