The M.A. in Life Physics program provides a solid foundation in basic sciences such as physics and biology. This foundation allows students to identify energies which constitute the structure of the human body. This academic program will help students identify the differences between ordinary physical energies and subtle energies. Clinical applications of the use of sound and biofeedback are also part of the curriculum.

Objectives

The core courses are designed to provide the graduate student with a solid foundation in biophysics, research methodologies, traditional Chinese medicine, anatomy, and physiology.

Students with graduate credits in one or more of the discipline above could take advantage of the CIHS transfer policies. For additional information on transfer policies, please contact your academic advisor or program director.
