Anyone can derive benefit from the Holistic Health program. Yet, the program is of special interest to different students:

The HH Minor serves as an interdisciplinary liberal arts program that complements or supplements a student's major field of study, especially in health-related areas. Benefits for HH Minor/Certificate students include: individual advising with IHHS faculty, priority on the waiting list for HH courses and opportunity to network with other HH students.

Students preparing for careers in complementary/alternative health care careers such as Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, somatic therapy and biofeedback. The HH program offers a pre-professional track which can both help prepare you for a career in health care and possibly reduce the number of required courses you will need to take when you arrive there. (See Special Major option)

Holistic health is important to people in all health related professions such as nurses, physicians, paramedics, health educators, physical therapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, counselors, psychotherapists, health researchers, health consultants, trainers, etc.

Holistic Health studies can help educators and business managers explore creative work options or organizational applications.

Holistic Health courses benefit students and others in the community who wish to learn essential lifeskills for stress reduction, personal growth, self-healing, ecological living or cultural change.
