My Academic Plan
Program Description
The Aromatherapy certificate program teaches students how to safely use and apply essential oils for therapeutic benefits. Aromatherapy has been defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. As a holistic practice, Aromatherapy is both a preventative approach as well as an active method to combat stress, illness or disease. This certificate is accredited by the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) and can be utilized in conjunction with training in other holistic or health-related modalities and careers for enhanced employability and well-being. All courses in this degree must be completed with a "C" or better to graduate.
Note: This certificate cohort starts only in the Fall term.
