Integrative Health and Wellness Studies Associate in Science Degree

Integrative Health and Wellness Studies is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of health. Health is defined as a state of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Furthermore, health is defined as a state of wholeness, of being whole, and in this respect, we approach the study of health from a perspective of what is holy, and sacred. In approaching a vitalist, and holistic definition of health, we will comprehensively consider sleep, movement, nutrition, resiliency, mind-body practices, our connection to nature, and environment, that allow for the emergence of a whole person perspective of human flourishing and health. To earn an Associate Degree students must complete: (1) all major course requirements with a grade of C or better; (2) Cypress College Native General Education requirements; California State University General Education Breadth requirements (CSU GE Breadth) or IGETC General Education requirements; (3) social justice, equity, and sustainability and reading requirements; (4) any elective courses to complete a minimum of 60 units; and, (5) have a minimum GPA of 2.0. At least 50% of all major course work must be completed at Cypress College. Courses that fulfill major requirements for an Associate Degree at Cypress College might not be the same as those required for completing the major at a transfer institution offering a Baccalaureate Degree. For information on specific university requirements, please consult with your counselor, or visit the Transfer Center.
