Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~ Margaret Mead This page gives an overview of our Naturopathy 3 year diploma program. The Catalog, which prospective students may request, gives more detailed information and school policy information. HERBAL STUDIES: it is possible to explore your interest in natural healing through our seasonal herbal studies program (http://www.gaiaherbalstudies.net/)- the credit for this program transfers to the Core ND program if one decides to continue studies. EARN TWO DIPLOMAS Note too, that as naturopath students, for an additional tuiton supplement of $2,700, you may optionally choose to earn 2 diplomas - the additional Massage Therapy/Energy Medicine diploma - by adding the MT program schedule listed on the Massage program page. This program deepens and enriches the overall skills of the natural physician while adding an important far reaching skill to your healing arts repertoire.
