skills brought forward from previous academic, professional, and experiential
activity. We expect students to demonstrate a thorough and comprehensive
knowledge of the relevant history and present definition of the holistic

ethical issues, and research methods. Achieving excellence in scholarship
requires full and meaningful participation in this evolving, cooperative
endeavor. |

tools to support changes in thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and a comprehensive
knowledge of holistic nutrition which will allow them to work in a clinical or
educational setting. Our focus is to provide doctoral students with a working
understanding of human physiology and biochemistry and integrate that with the
current science of nutrition. We focus on how our food and lifestyle affects
overall health. Our studies also include information on the use of nutritional
and herbal supplements, detoxification programs, and information about
laboratory testing that is used to assess nutritional and functional status. |

with food or supplement manufacturers, media, and more. Graduates help
consumers navigate through the mass of confusing and often contradictory health
and nutrition information. Our graduates work to educate people so that they
can make their own informed health and lifestyle decisions more easily.
