The Graduate Institute is now offering a Master of Arts in Integrative Health and Healing (IHH) in Hartford this spring. This cutting-edge degree program celebrates health as the optimal alignment of body, mind, and spirit. From the ancient roots of medicine to contemporary practice, it enables participants to incorporate diverse complementary and alternative therapies into their lives and professions.

That is empowering because it enables patients to share in the therapeutic choices utilized."
