Ayurvedic Education Formats
The College offers students the opportunity to study Ayurveda online and receive the same credit toward all certifications.
Full-Time Format
Students are in class nine hours per week. Due to the extensive amount of class work (studying, assignments, etc.) outside of the regular class hours, this program is ideal for students who do not work full-time while attending school. Students who work full-time should consider our weekend or distance learning programs.
