			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ipsb.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/AS2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2941" title="AS2" src="http://www.ipsb.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/AS2.jpg" alt="AS2 Associate of Science in Holistic Health" width="585" height="282" /></a>The Associate of Science in Holistic Health degree program includes all the course work required for the Massage Therapy and Holistic Health Practitioner certificate programs, and an additional 225 clock hours (20.5 units) in coursework. The entire Associate of Science program may be completed by full-time students within nine quarters, by three-quarter-time students within 12 quarters, and by half-time students within 18 quarters.  Upon satisfactory completion of the program, graduates will be qualified to work as self-employed private practice therapists and as advanced level practitioners (HHP) in spas, health clinics, medical offices, chiropractic offices, hotels and resorts.<a href="http://www.ipsb.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/AS4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2942" title="AS4" src="http://www.ipsb.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/AS4.jpg" alt="AS4 Associate of Science in Holistic Health" width="585" height="282" /></a></p>
<p>Success in the body therapy relationship is determined by the authenticity and clarity of the therapeutic relationship, and as such, the program places significant emphasis on the student’s self-exploration and transformation. Intensive experiential components of the curriculum have been designed to aid the student in self-discovery, for only by knowing oneself with insight and compassion can a holistically-oriented therapist obtain the inner wisdom necessary to help others.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ipsb.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/AS1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2943" title="AS1" src="http://www.ipsb.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/AS1.jpg" alt="AS1 Associate of Science in Holistic Health" width="585" height="282" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We have chosen three educational methods best known to empower students as learners:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dialogue</strong> means that teaching centers on discussion rather than lecture. Students are expect- ed to read the materials and come prepared to discuss them. The instructor’s role is to question, evoke, and assist, rather than pass personal conclusions.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dynamics of Personal Learning</strong> supports students in understanding and developing their personal learning style and brilliance. The Self-Directed Learning project is planned and organized in this course.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Self-Directed Learning</strong> means that the student actively participates in evolving his or her course of study. Students have considerable latitude in selecting the content and the way the subject matter is approached and explored.</li>
</ul>
