Experiential Health and Healing is a 36-credit Master of Arts degree program in integrative health studies. The program recognizes the interconnectivity of body, mind, spirit, and energy, as well as the profound impact that environmental factors, personal beliefs, and lifestyle choices have on wellness. Thus, it creates a holistic medical model that is rooted in informed and insightful practice.

Colleagues explore a variety of allopathic, complementary, and alternative therapies, examining research on their efficacy and locating them within a continuum for integrative care. Colleagues learn to view practitioners and patients as partners in the healing process – and they develop communication strategies and treatment approaches that respond to specific physical, psychological, emotional, or spiritual needs.

The program is "experiential" in that it provides opportunities for hands-on learning. Colleagues are required to complete an integrated plan of study that includes cohort and online dialogue, two mentorships, an internship, and a culminating project. Study is generally completed within twenty-two months, with colleagues meeting approximately one weekend (Friday evening and Saturday) per month. The Experiential Health and Healing program does not usually require a summer session..
