The School of Social Work Graduate Certificate Assessment of Integrative Health Modalities will focus on integrative health, the current term used by practitioners in the field who feel strongly that treating the "whole person--body, mind and spiritual" is the route to the highest quality of health.

 The purpose of the certificate is to enhance students’ knowledge of integrative health practices. It will provide students with extensive knowledge of integrative health practices through directed readings in evidenced-based journal articles, expert lectures from community health professionals and ASU faculty drawn from across disciplines, field observation, an individual research paper, and a mindfulness in-class practice and class interaction which can enhance the quality and effectiveness of treating clients holistically.

• This certificate is open to anyone interested in integrative health. A minimum of a bachelor’s degree is required for entry into the certificate program.
• The certificate will require the completion of 15 credit hours, distributed among three core courses and two interdisciplinary electives.
• Students may take two courses before applying to the Certificate program.
• Applicants intending to complete the Assessment of Integrative Health Modalities Certificate program must hold a bachelor’s from a regionally accredited institution and should have a cumulative junior/senior undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or higher, or the equivalent in the last two years of work leading to a Bachelor’s degree.
