Certificate Requirements for 2017-2018 Academic Year approved by CIMHS Degree Program Committee.

For non-CIMHS degree students, the certificate includes an 8-week graduate colloquium (1-credit), three academic courses (9 credits), and one residential conference. This is an educational opportunity for individuals to obtain a professional certificate without having to commit to a graduate program.

CIMHS students already take at least one 1-credit Graduate Colloquium and have an assigned advisor. They will not need to take this additional one-credit Graduate Colloquium. Consult with an academic advisor for additional information.

For those individuals currently enrolled in one of the Mind-Body Medicine degree programs, the required three courses (9 credits) may be taken as part of their required curriculum.

Note: As part of the 5593 Advanced Practicum course, students will complete a practical examination. It is possible to pass the course requirements; however, passing the examination is the final requirement to earn the certification.
