Holistic Health Studies - Certificate
St. Catherine has developed a 12-credit graduate certificate in holistic health for students who want to explore the content of holistic health, but do not necessarily want to complete the entire graduate degree. This certificate will allow those students to achieve their educational goals. The admission process for the certificate program is identical to the admission process for the degree program. All of the courses in the certificate are also a part of the full degree and can easily be applied if a student chooses to continue in the full degree.
All of the courses for the certificate must be taken at St. Catherine.
