Learning Model
Printer Friendly Version
The Graduate College of Mind-Body Medicine follows an accelerated academic calendar for all courses in the degree programs and certificate program. Each semester includes two eight week terms. There is a residential component for the courses in the first term of each semester. All courses include weekly web-based activity and monthly video conferences for students and faculty.
Our programs connect you directly with Dr. Gordon and other leaders in the field and provide intensive training in tested and proven approaches and techniques in evidence based mind-body medicine and nutrition. Students in our programs will learn how to apply these approaches and techniques in their own life and practice. Our faculty works closely with students to develop programs that best meet the needs in their communities and institutions.
Our degree programs have at their core in-person seminars offered by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine. Both the MS and the PhD require three such seminars, which are built into the College’s courses (MBM 5600, 5605, and 5610). The seminars serve as the core for the residentials in those terms and are conducted wherever The Center for Mind-Body Medicine seminar is scheduled. An additional seminar is included in an elective course on treating cancer.
