How to earn an M.A. degree from MMI if you have graduated from another Ayurvedic school:
If you have graduated from a NAMA-approved (National Ayurvedic Medicine Association) Ayurvedic school with Ayurvedic studies equivalent to the first 14 months of our MA program (our 7 month Diploma program and 7 months of our Certificate program), you are eligible to take the MMI challenge exam. The challenge exam covers the first 14 months of our 30 month MA program. When the exam is passed, the student can earn the Master of Arts – Ayurveda degree in 16 months (when meeting all degree requirements) instead of 30 months.
