Prerequisite/Co-requisite
- Ayurvedic Health Counselor Program: The Ayurvedic Health Counselor program requires students to fulfill pre/co-requisites in Anatomy & Physiology for graduation. Students are not obligated to complete these courses before enrolling in the program, but they must meet the requirements by the end of the course or within one year after program completion to be eligible for graduation.
To meet the pre/co-requisites for the Ayurvedic Health Counselor program, students must demonstrate the completion of 6 college-level credits or 90 hours of class time in Anatomy & Physiology from a recognized institution. The credits should be specifically awarded at the college level for Anatomy & Physiology. This is typically an Anatomy & Physiology 1 in addition to Anatomy & Physiology II at the college level.
It is essential to note that a Yoga Training Course that includes Yoga Anatomy & Physiology content will not meet these criteria and will not be counted towards fulfilling the pre/co-requisites. Any credits or hours that fall short of the specified requirement will not be considered, ensuring that students possess a strong foundational knowledge before embarking on their transformative journey in Ayurvedic medicine.
