Graduate Certificate in Mindfulness Studies 15 credits

The Graduate Certificate in Mindfulness Studies provides students with a strong foundation in the history, theory, and practice of mindfulness so that they may integrate mindfulness into their professional practices and personal lives. This program is especially suitable for health and wellness professionals, social workers, counselors, educators, and those who wish to develop their own practice of mindfulness and to share these practices with students, clients and colleagues.

After successful completion of the first semester, students in the 15-credit certificate may apply to transfer into the Mindfulness Studies master's degree program.
