The Undergraduate Associate of Sacred Arts in Traditional Natural Medicine: (A.S.A.) (2,595 hours):

There are 1,245 clock hours of academic (online) study, which is coupled with 1,350 hours of seminars, workshops, and clinical observations. Practitioners of the healing arts, e.g. Massage therapists, Nutritionists, Acupuncturists, Nurses, etc., may apply for advanced status and life experience. Each candidate is appraised on an individual status.


The Graduate Doctorate Program in Sacred Natural Medicine (2,000 hours):

There are 1400 clock hours of academic (online) study, which is coupled with 600 hours of seminars, workshops, and clinical observations. Practitioners of the healing arts, e.g. ND’s, MD’s, DO’s, DC’s, and others of advanced standing can apply for credits and waivers. Graduates of the Diploma Program require only an additional 300 hours of clinical observations (2,000 hours total).


Why the two Programs?

The Diploma program allows one to make a career change with the candidate having only high school knowledge of biology and chemistry.

The Doctorate program is based on the same ladder of subjects as found in a traditional medical school but based on a different premise of content as route memorization of facts is not the desired goal, rather personal integration of the subject matter that can be applied immediately and clinically.
