Students attend a weekend intensive each month with weekly online classes in between. After completing foundational coursework, students engage in a supervised clinical internship during the second and third trimesters. The diploma program prepares students for a career as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor (AHC), offering diet and lifestyle support to individuals.
